There is excellent evidence of critical analysis and reflection accompanied by a profound appraisal of the literature and evaluation of theoretical concepts. The material is managed in a highly There is very good evidence of critical analysis and reflection with evaluation of the literature/ theoretical concepts. The material is managed in a creative way with expression of some original thought. Whilst there is evidence of critical analysis and reflection some issues required further exploration. There is a competent level of evaluation of the literature and theoretical concepts. There is evidence of There is very limited evidence of critical analysis and reflection and much of the writing is descriptive. Evaluation of the literature and key concepts is scarce and there is a lack of originality in Little or no evidence of critical analysis or reflection and the discussion is entirely descriptive. There is very poor evaluation of the literature and theoretical concepts and no credible judgements are formed.
