Marking Criteria
GSM LONDON GENERIC ASSESSMENT MARKING CRITERIA LEVEL 3
• Level 3: prepares students to function effectively at Level 4. Criteria for assessment at Level 3 reflect the preparatory nature of these modules.
• Students are expected to demonstrate the acquisition of generic learning skills appropriate for self-managed learning in an HE context. Students are expected
to demonstrate that they have acquired the underpinning discipline-specific skills, knowledge and understanding necessary to undertake a programme of
higher education
• These criteria are designed to be a reference point for assessment criteria in all subjects. Where the generic criteria are deemed to be sufficient, they can be
used directly for assessing students' learning.
