Overall Grade
Grade Commentary
Merit This is a good standard for Level 1
and the learner’s voice is clear in
the work.
Pass Although this is a L1 unit, it is still
good practice for learners to put
research in their own words so
that their own understanding of
this can be ascertained. Whilst
the learner has provided a refer-
ence for the sources in each case,
the work should be written in
their own words.
Merit An interesting example where the
learner again appears to have
copied and pasted directly from a
referenced website. In this in-
stance the copied and pasted sec-
tion is not presented as evidence
for the A.C.. Instead it is used as a
benchmark for song structure in
this style and the learner goes on
to comment separately, in their
own words, to meet 2.1 e.
