MGX3121 Team Report (A1) Rubric: Achievement and Grades
The levels of achievement generally translate to grade levels. It is unlikely that the assignment's demonstration will be consistent across all criteria, as such it
is generally the evidenced theme that will determine the grade. A theme of:
• Not Achieved equates to a low Fail grade
• Near Achievement equates to a high Fail grade
• Minimum Achievement equates to a Pass grade
• Good Achievement equates to a Credit grade
• Very Good Achievement, a demonstration across Good and Excellent Achievement, equates to a Distinction grade
• Excellent Achievement equates to a High Distinction grade
