The overall FdSc Equitation, Training and Behaviour programme is carefully designed in order to ensure that students develop both their practical and academic skills, both of which need to be thoroughly embedded within industry. A substantial amount of work-related education and exposure to work related practice is included within the modules delivered at level 5, focussing in particular on allowing students to analyse and apply industry information.
ASSESSMENT GRADING MATRIX FOR ESSAYS/REPORTS BAND Select and deploy relevant knowledge showing understanding of relevant literature/resources. Analyse and evaluate information, arguments and explanations, and apply theory to practice. Construct arguments and explanations using a range of available evidence and communicate these in a clear, structured manner, making use of appropriate vocabulary, citation and referencing. (85-100%) Outstanding .. in addition to criteria in the band the student demonstrates comprehensive understanding of information extracted from recent / current thinking in the subject area suggests original interpretations or applications of theory evaluates, analyses and interprets information, arguments and explanations with outstanding clarity and skill reasons effectively towards a comprehensive and original conclusion distils and critically evaluates evidence and communicate this concisely (70-84%) Excellent a thorough, accurate knowledge with a clear and detailed understanding that meets module specific learning outcomes and assessment criteria coverage of a wide range of relevant literature/resources a high level of skill in interpretation, analysis and evaluation rigorous and consistent application of relevant theory to practice correctly distinguish relevant and important factors integrate these factors into a balanced, well-focused and convincing argument/explanation reason effectively towards an individual and informed conclusion contain detailed citation and referencing correctly use grammar, punctuation and spelling (60-69%) a very good, accurate knowledge and understanding that meets a very good level of skill in interpretation, analysis and evaluation identify the most important factors present a relevant argument/explanation
Very Good module specific learning outcomes and assessment criteria a very good awareness of a range of relevant literature/resources consistent application of relevant theory to practice clearly if, at times, lacking incisiveness contain accurate citation and referencing may contain occasional errors of grammar, punctuation and spelling (50-59%) Good a good knowledge and confident understanding that meets module specific learning outcomes and assessment criteria a good awareness of relevant literature/resources a good level of skill in interpretation, analysis and evaluation application of some theory to practice identify some important factors present a logical argument/explanation contain correct citation and referencing may contain some errors of grammar, punctuation and spelling (40-49%) Adequate an adequate knowledge and understanding that meets module specific learning outcomes and assessment criteria a limited awareness of relevant literature/resources an adequate level of skill in interpretation, analysis and evaluation adequate application of theory to practice make an adequate attempt to distinguish relevant material assemble it into a limited argument/explanation contain adequate citation and referencing that is generally accurate may contain some errors of grammar, punctuation and spelling (25-39%) Unsatisfactory poor and generalised knowledge and understanding that does not meet module specific learning outcomes and assessment criteria little or no awareness of relevant literature/resources a poor level of skill in interpretation, analysis and evaluation inappropriate or inadequate application of theory to practice make an inadequate attempt to shape an argument/explanation at a basic level lack logical structure and/or be unselective be uncited/unreferenced or display frequent errors in citation/referencing may contain intrusive errors of grammar, punctuation and spelling
