Marking Rubric#
| Criterion | Weighting |
|---|---|
| Understanding of CCS communication techniques and utilisation of them | 68% |
| Portfolio | 2% |
| Documentation of CCS utilisation | 20% |
Your understanding of CCS techniques and utilisation of them (and by extension documentation of which) is really what we care about — hence it carries the biggest mark. You can literally not submit any piece of prose, and you’ll be alright as long as you can articulate that you can mind-meld with your CCS well. However, you must respond to what is specified and required by the portfolio as the whole point of this course is for you steer your CCS towards something and output a high-quality output.
The band descriptors — what HD, D–Cr, P and N mean for each criterion — are the same for both assignments.
