MAII3007 Numeracy 2 Summer 2019 Coursework Brief GSM LONDON Page 1 of 9 Marking Criteria GSM LONDON GENERIC ASSESSMENT MARKING CRITERIA LEVEL 3 • Level 3: prepares students to function effectively at Level 4. Criteria for assessment at Level 3 reflect the preparatory nature of these modules. • Students are expected to demonstrate the acquisition of generic learning skills appropriate for self-managed learning in an HE context. Students are expected to demonstrate that they have acquired the underpinning discipline-specific skills, knowledge and understanding necessary to undertake a programme of higher education • These criteria are designed to be a reference point for assessment criteria in all subjects. Where the generic criteria are deemed to be sufficient, they can be used directly for assessing students' learning.
