65%

Awareness of Scholarly Opinion

There appears a good demonstration of the main relevant issues and opinions with a clear explanation of the two main competing theories although this could be more directly linked to the sources.

65%

Expression of Argument/Use of Language

The piece uses a high level of quite specialised language which is generally coherent and intelligible.

65%

Structure

A clear, logical structure is displayed tracing the evolution of the theories with an attempt at a sensible conclusion.

65%

Critical Judgement

Mostly relevant with a balanced critique of sources, although some are given much less coverage than others (eg Morgan, Lopez and Levi-Strauss) although this may be because their theories are more minor and this may have led to a slightly indistinct conclusion.

60%

Presentation

Generally, reasonably good with various informative detail although the formatting, especially in the Resources section could have been a little tidier and more headings in the main part.

60%
