Solutions will be marked for accuracy, appropriateness of mathematical techniques and clarity of presentation as will be demonstrated by exemplars presented in lectures.

To earn a Grade of 7, a student must demonstrate an excellent understanding of the course material. This includes clear expression of nearly all their deductions and explanations, the use of appropriate and efficient mathematical techniques and accurate answers to nearly all questions and tasks with appropriate justification. They will be able to apply mathematical techniques to completely solve both theoretical and practical problems. A student satisfying this criterion will normally achieve a final mark between 85 - 100 %.

To earn a Grade of 6, a student must demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the course material. This includes clear expression of most of their deductions and explanations, the general use of appropriate and efficient mathematical techniques and accurate answers to most questions and tasks with appropriate justification. They will be able to apply mathematical techniques to partially solve both theoretical and practical problems. A student satisfying this criterion will normally achieve a final mark between 75 - 84 %.

To earn a Grade of 5, a student must demonstrate an adequate understanding of the course material. This includes clear expression of some of their deductions and explanations, the use of appropriate and efficient mathematical techniques in some situations and accurate answers to some questions and tasks with appropriate justification. They will be able to apply mathematical techniques to solve fundamental problems. A student satisfying this criterion will normally achieve a final mark between 65 - 74 %.

To earn a Grade of 4, a student must demonstrate an understanding of the basic concepts in the course material. This includes occasionally expressing their deductions and explanations clearly, the occasional use of appropriate and efficient mathematical techniques and accurate answers to a few questions and tasks with appropriate justification. They will have demonstrated knowledge of techniques used to solve problems and applied this knowledge in some cases. A student satisfying this criterion will normally achieve a final mark between 50 - 64 %.

To earn a Grade of 3, a student must demonstrate some knowledge of the basic concepts in the course material. This includes occasional expression of their deductions and explanations, the use of a few appropriate and efficient mathematical techniques and attempts to answer a few questions and tasks accurately and with appropriate justification. They will have demonstrated knowledge of techniques used to solve problems. A student satisfying this criterion will normally achieve a final mark between 45 - 49 %.

To earn a Grade of 2, a student must demonstrate some knowledge of the basic concepts in the course material. This includes attempts at expressing their deductions and explanations and attempts to answer a few questions accurately. A student satisfying this criterion will normally achieve a final mark between 20 - 44%.

A student will earn a Grade of 1 if they show a poor knowledge of the basic concepts in the course material. This includes attempts at answering some questions but showing an extremely poor understanding of the key concepts. A student satisfying this criterion will normally achieve a final mark between 0 - 19 %.
