Grading Sheet

Assessment criteria and marking distribution addressing Institution of Engineers Sri Lanka competencies
Value of the assessment based on the rubric provided below is 10% of the overall unit. The total assessment mark
awarded is made up of the marks awarded to each element assessed. Each item of the assessment in the rubric
shows the IESL competencies to be demonstrated. Level of learning (Levels of learning) is specified for those
elements of the assignment when it is appropriate.

Detailed guidelines and feedback

This detailed assessment rubric sets out assessment expectations so that you will be aware of the competencies to
be developed and the expected standards. This table will also be used for assessing your work to provide sufficient
feedback on how you performed against these standards. This sheet is NOT the assignment cover sheet.
