1. With reference to the Assessment Handbook, the following serves as a set of various assessment criteria and grade descriptors suitable for many different assessment tasks.
2. The assessment rubric can be customised in the following two ways:
- by selecting grading/marking criteria which suit a specific assessment task
- by adding specific details under the criterion and its corresponding achievement indicators. NOTE: Don’t change the original language - just add clarification, if needed.
3. The HCT Grading System is accessible at: https://portal.hct.ac.ae/sites/pnp/cass/Pages/lp209.aspx .
