What is Marking Criteria?
Marking criteria (also known as marking rubrics) are designed to help students know what is expected of them. It reflects the aspects of the assignment the teachers are specifically looking for when marking your work. You could hand in the most well-researched assignment ever...but if it doesn't meet the requirements set out in the marking criteria, you will not receive a great mark.
Marking criteria allows your teacher to mark all of the assignments consistently and give you clear feedback on where and how you can improve your work.
Marking criteria also allows you to see where your marks will be allocated - so you can spend more time and detail on the parts of your assignment that are worth more marks.
