Assessment Criteria (Learning objectives covered – all)
Level 6 study represents the student’s increasing autonomy and independence in relation to their knowledge, understanding and skills. At
Level 6, students are expected to demonstrate problem solving skills in both practical and theoretical contexts. This should be supported
by an understanding of appropriate theory, creativity in expression and thought based on independent but informed judgments. Students
should demonstrate the ability to seek out, invoke, analyse, and evaluate competing theories and claims to knowledge and work in a
critically constructive manner. Work at this level is articulate, coherent, and skilled.
