MID-SEMESTER EXAM – ESSAY MARKING CRITERIA Student’s Name:____________________

The scales below are to give you an idea of which sections and aspects of your work were strong, which weaker. They do not necessarily sum to give you your overall mark, since greater weight is given in the final mark to certain aspects of the essay. Note also: The scale labels do not translate directly into mark percentages or categories; two students can have the same pattern of scale ticks, but different final marks.
