There are three assessed workshop exercises. For each of these workshops, you will be given some short questions or a scenario to analyse and asked to demonstrate that you can:
distinguish the relevant from irrelevant facts in the scenario
identify what topics we have covered which apply in this case, and how
come up with a clear recommendation or answer
justify that recommendation (logically, or via evidence covered in lectures etc.)
“Identifying relevant facts/topics” and “justifying answers” are the key things we are looking for in workshop answers.
Each workshop will be marked out of 5 (2 + 2 + 1). There are 2 marks for identifying relevant facts/topics, 2 marks for justifying answers, and 1 mark for clarity/legibility.
The three assessed workshops in total are worth 15 marks, and 15% of the unit mark.
Demonstrated level |
Identifying relevant facts/topics |
Justifying answers |
|---|---|---|
Proficient (2 marks) |
All (or nearly all) relevant facts/topics identified, with at most minor omissions/errors |
Nuanced justification and reasons for answers |
Satisfactory (1 mark) |
Some relevant facts and topics identified but some major omissions/one-sided arguments |
Some attempt at justification but major omissions or errors e.g. fails to justify major points or identify key assumptions |
Not yet satisfactory (0 marks) |
Little or no evidence of ability to identify relevant facts/topics |
Little or no evidence of ability to justify answers |
Finally, 1 mark is awarded for clarity and legibility: 1 mark if the submission is reasonably legible and clear, 0 if it is not.
