Undergraduate Assessment Criteria
Understanding your feedback is crucial for improving your assessed work: the Media, Arts and Humanities generic criteria explain your feedback and what you can aim to achieve in each year across your degree.
When tutors mark assessments they use assessment criteria tailored to your subject. You can find these criteria below (see ‘Subject-Specific Assessment Criteria’), but there are aspects of your work – knowledge and understanding, critical thinking, and presentation – that matter for assessments in all subjects across the School. The Generic Assessment Criteria explain what these categories mean and break down how each category works across the different mark boundaries for each year of study. This will help you to understand the feedback you receive from tutors so that you can keep improving your assessed work.
