In addition to the criteria identified below for a mark between 70-85%, an answer scoring a mark of 85-100% would show an excellent level of understanding and critical/analytic skills and originality. For example, such an answer would include new insights into supply chain management which are not drawn from the literature but from the student’s own critical thinking, and which add something to the existing literature.
