Coursework marking criteriaIndividual guided literature review: Task 1
Marks will be awarded for:
• Quality of reference
• Quality and detail presented in the reason for selecting
• Range and focus of the search techniques used to
identify and select the reference

What does ‘critical’ mean?Finding fault: negative comment e.g. ‘Not good enough’.
Key, decisive, crucial: ‘a critical moment’, ‘critically ill’, ‘a critical decision’.
In your University work being ‘critical’ means: being thoughtful, asking questions, not taking things you read and hear at face value.
When searching for information ‘critical’ means: thinking carefully about the information you find, evaluating it, asking questions, considering its authority, reflecting on it etc.

“We can describe a book or a journal article as an artefact, a published and describable entity: you look for it, you find it, you’re done. Or we can describe information in terms of its contribution to knowledge…….you find it, you read it, you start answering back to it.”
Emma Coonan, 2014
