The presentation should be well-structured and clearly expressed. Use of legal authority will be good.

Crucial aspects of a full analysis may be absent. Whilst generally clearly presented and coherent, the answer given in the presentation may be ambiguous or/and muddled in places. (Where applicable: PPT slides show a reasonable effort, yet reflect overall lack of structure and reflect a basic understanding of the topic).

The analysis will be weak and reductive overall. There may be a number of omissions as well as conspicuous, irrelevant information/misunderstanding. (Where applicable: Some effort made to compile a decent PPT presentation, yet content is not entirely relevant, crucial content might be missing, and presentation lacks overall structure).

2) A reasonably coherent structure

A fail will have weak or/and inadequate evidence of understanding of the topic, or the answer will be largely incomplete with limited exploration of the some of the key issues or omission of the major points and arguments; there will be poor and/or inappropriate presentation style. (Where applicable: PPT slides generally disorganised, perhaps lacking in crucial content, with low levels of effort).
