LEARNING OUTCOMES

Knowledge & Understanding

Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the topic avoiding plagiarism.

Final Assessment (Level & Tutor Comments):

LEVEL: 4

No evidence of plagiarism in your work and you have displayed a good understanding of the
Cavendish experiment and how it was used and upgraded to measure G.
Describe subject knowledge using a clear and logical structure and in an appropriate academic style.

Final Assessment (Level & Tutor Comments):

LEVEL: 3

You made a couple of grammatical mistakes but in general grammar was fine. The tone of voice you
used was not always in a truly academic style, often informal (e.g. "Cavendish used this balance
along with some heavy lead balls placed..."). Try to study the language used in academic papers,
avoiding vague language, being a bit more concise, and removing informal/colloquial phrases. You
attempted to section out your work to provide a structure; however the text did not always flow.
Finally when giving values for G and their uncertainty, try to ensure that they're given to the same
significant figures such that they can be combined more appropriately.

Intellectual Skills

Explore a broad range of appropriate information, integrating material so the assignment flows in a
coherent way (including figures, tables or equations where appropriate e.g. for science and maths
assignments).

Final Assessment (Level & Tutor Comments):

LEVEL: 4

[Please see the comments for the next learning outcome for some context which suggests
comparing and contrasting several measurement of G] Generally you have explored a range of
information: historical background, equations (with labels), quantitative results, and figures (with
captions) to allow your assignment to flow. I would have liked to have seen further use of
figures/tables to show the development of G through time, pictorially this would have helped easily
draw conclusions on you title question, and in addition you could have utilised a table to
quantitatively summarise key results for comparison.

Select and summarise relevant arguments and reach appropriate conclusions in a balanced way.

Final Assessment (Level & Tutor Comments):

LEVEL: 3

Your work lacked a strong conclusion to the question posed as your assignment title. You did not
fully explore the different methods used in order to measure G, instead you seemed to focus more
narrowly on the changes to the original Cavendish experiment. In future it would be good to provide
more of a quantitative analysis of the different methods used to measure G (not just extended
torsion balances). Comparing and contrasting the values and their precision for several methods to
give a full perspective on the history and current situation would allow you to provide a more
decisive conclusion to your title question.
Research Skills

Demonstrate ability to access, research and apply appropriate academic sources.

Final Assessment (Level & Tutor Comments):

LEVEL: 4

The range of sources you have used are generally very appropriate and of an academic standard.
One or two sources could have been changed to keep in line with this (i.e. ref [5]).

Demonstrate accurate citation and referencing skills.

Final Assessment (Level & Tutor Comments):

LEVEL: 4

Generally your citations were used appropriately; however there were a few places where more
citations could have been used. Referencing of figures and equations used well. When citing
equations you can put your citation in the text rather than by the equation itself.

Transferable Skills

Liaises appropriately with tutor in person, online or by phone and responds positively to feedback.

Final Assessment (Level & Tutor Comments):

LEVEL: 5

Very pro-active in liaising with your tutor. Took feedback on board when given and tried to
implement it into your work; however I would have liked to have seen you challenge yourself a bit
further in challenging quantum measurements of G.

Demonstrate use of appropriate ICT skills in presentation using the guidance provided. Of
appropriate length 1,500-2,000 words.

Final Assessment (Level & Tutor Comments):

LEVEL: 5

You're work is well presented and within the word count.
