Departments ensure that they have built into for every module or seminar series, and at least two weeks before the first assignment is due, they have arranged at least one information session in which whereby the marking criteria for that module are explained in detail to students in a forum , where they have an opportunity to ask questions and seek clarification if required.  

UCL assessment platforms offer alternatives for this:

• Moodle Assignment Rubric.
• Turnitin Assignment Rubric.
• Moodle Marking Guide.
• Turnitin Grading Form.
• Moodle Workshop peer marking activity gives students a practice marking opportunity.

To help students understand the criteria, see the UCL Arena Quickguide on guided marking.
