Constitutional Principles Case Analysis Grading Criteria
This assessment is worth 60% of your overall module grade. You have five (5) pages, not including any bibliography, to a undertake your case analysis of Liversidge v Anderson [1942]. Your argument will be assessed against each of the different criteria listed below, with each being given a score out of 10. However, each criterion has a specific weighting meaning that, for example, of the overall 60% of module marks available for this assessment, 20% are attributable to the quality of your case analysis structure. This means that you can do very well, even if a particular aspect of the structure needed development (and similarly, you could still do less well than you hope overall, even if you had a strength in a particular area). The other point to bear in mind is that this means that there are multiple different ways of reaching any overall grade.
Please also note that while you may have a similar analysis as a friend, and even from the same perspective, with the same underlying content, there will always be differences between your work. You cannot for example, have presented it in an identical way so there will always be an objective basis for any difference in marks between you.
