Module Title: Pathological Basis of Disease
Title of coursework Coursework
Marker: Laura Cole
MARK*:
74
Strengths:
Lots of effort clearly gone into this diagram well thought out!
Encompasses the depth required for a level 5 piece of course work.
Information included in the table is very informative, selective, and fitting with the disease research area
Suggestions for Improvement:
See comments within
figure legend needs a citation of Pekny et al; 2018 paper
to take your marks up to the next level you can edit the information in some of the boxes of the table to make
room for linking statements where you comment on how the research field and/or findings have moved on,
stayed the same, in agreement with the other references or pose more contrasting views.
Student comments for Feed-forward (how will you use this feedback to improve your future work?):
I have struggled with getting the reference/citation format correct which has affected my grades. However now with this
feedback, only one small error with the figure legend citation I now know fully how to cite and reference properly so will
not enquire mark % loss due to referencing.

4. Class CG% General Characteristics Level 5
FIRST
(Excellent}
96 Exceptional breadth and depth of knowledge and understanding of the area of study; evidence of extensive and appropriate selection and critical
evaluation/synthesis/analysis and of reading/research beyond the prescribed range, in both breadth and depth, to advance work/direct arguments;
exceptional demonstration of relevant skills; excellent communication; performance deemed to be beyond expectation.
89
81 Outstanding/excellent knowledge and understanding of the area of study as the student is typically able to go beyond what has been taught
(particularly for a mid/high 1st
); evidence of extensive and appropriate selection and critical evaluation/synthesis/ analysis of reading/research
beyond the prescribed range, to advance work/direct arguments; excellent demonstration of relevant skills; excellent communication;
performance deemed beyond expectation of the level.
74
UPPER SECOND
(Very good)
68 Very good knowledge and understanding of the area of study as the student is typically able to relate facts/concepts together with some ability
to apply to known/taught contexts; evidence of appropriate selection and evaluation of reading/research, some beyond the prescribed range,
may rely on set sources to advance work/direct arguments; demonstrates autonomy in approach to learning; very good demonstration of
relevant skills; strong communication skills.
65
62
LOWER SECOND
(Good)
58 Good knowledge and understanding of the area of study balanced towards the descriptive rather than analytical; evidence of appropriate selection
and evaluation of reading/research but generally reliant on set sources to advance work/direct arguments; good demonstration of relevant skills,
though may be limited in range; communication shows clarity but structure may not always be coherent.
55
52
THIRD
(Sufficient)
48
Knowledge and understanding is sufficient to deal with terminology, basic facts and concepts but fails to make meaningful synthesis; some ability to
select and evaluate reading/research however work may be more generally descriptive; strong reliance on available support set sources to advance
work; arguments may be weak or poorly constructed; adequate demonstration of relevant skills over a limited range; communication/presentation is
generally competent but with some weaknesses.
45
42
FAIL
(Insufficient)
35
Insufficient knowledge and understanding of the area of study; some ability to select and evaluate reading/research however work is more generally
descriptive; fails to address some aspects of the brief; a limited use of sources to advance work; arguments may be weak/poor or weakly/poorly
constructed; demonstration of relevant skills over a reduced range; communication shows limited clarity, poor presentation, structure may not be
coherent.
25
15
Highly insufficient knowledge or understanding of the area of study; understanding is typically at the word level with facts being reproduced in a
disjointed or decontextualised manner; fails to address the outcomes addressed by the brief; typically ignores important sources in development of
work and data/evidence inappropriately used; weak technical and practical competence hampers ability to demonstrate/communicate achievement of
outcomes.
