Knowledge of a limited number of topics covered in the course, limited independent analytical skills, reasonable use of specific terminology → 21-24;

Knowledge of a large number of topics covered in the course, ability to make independent critical analysis choices, mastery of specific terminology → 25-29;

Essentially comprehensive knowledge of the topics covered in the course, ability to make independent critical analysis and connection choices, full mastery of specific terminology, and ability to argue and self-reflect → 30 and possible honours
