Every piece of graded work in the course, what it is worth, and when it is due.

Two pieces of graded work, worth 40 and 60 percent, marked two different ways. One is scored against weighted sub-criteria that state exactly how much each part is worth. The other is judged holistically, as a whole, against the brief. Between them, that’s the full range of what a marking scheme can promise: itemise the precision, or declare up front that itemising it wouldn’t help. Read both criteria sections below and decide which one you trust more before you’ve written a word for either.
