Marking Criteria/Standards
Closeness and perception in reading/examination of primary texts Pass standard will show
evidence of reading/examination but will show limited understanding and will not integrate the
reading/examination into an argument; there will be a tendency to summarise the texts rather than explain the ideas in the student’s own words. The best will show perceptive familiarity with the
primary
set texts and will be able to integrate the texts into an argument, for example, by the measured
choice
and use of quotations. Portfolio tasks will fail if evidence of reading is not present; or if the reading is
completely misunderstood which would suggest absence from the relevant tutorials/lectures.
Quality of the argument. Pass standard will tend to restate the argument/plot of the text without
elaboration or write in a list structure.. The best will be able to argue clearly and cohesively, with
every
detail of the essay clearly marshalled in a neat argument structure. Note that the ability to achieve this
high result will heavily depend on the above criterion of reading. Essays will fail if there is no
argument,
or if the argument is basically illogical or incomprehensible.
Awareness of themes Pass standard will show little understanding of the themes of the unit, or will
state the obvious. The best will be able to integrate ideas that have come up in lectures and tutorials.
Portfolio tasks will fail if there is no awareness of the themes of the unit or present themes with no
relevance to the unit material.
Quality of written expression If the literacy criteria listed above in this guide are not met then the
portfolio task will fail. The best portfolio tasks must exhibit a clear readable style, without
grammatical or
spelling errors.
Write a very brief introduction and conclusion. Use several quotations from the text you are
discussing.
Use no secondary or research material. Use just the unit Reader; this is important, since the task is to
focus on your own reading and comprehension of a set text
For this assignment, reference the text you are writing about where appropriate by using bracketed
page numbers: eg (p.15) At the end of the assign
