CLASS RANGE GUIDELINES

A+ 90 – 100% In addition to that for 70 – 79% below, an outstanding answer that could hardly be
bettered. High degree of understanding, critical/analytic skills and original research,
where specified. Outstanding in all respects.
A 80 – 89% In addition to that for 70 – 79% below, the answer will demonstrate an excellent level
of understanding, presence of clear description, critical/analytical skills or research, as
appropriate.
Answer entirely relevant to the assignment set. Answer will demonstrate clear
A- 75– 79% understanding of theories, concepts, issues and methodology, as appropriate. There
will be evidence of wide-ranging reading and/or research, as appropriate, beyond the
minimum recommended. Answers will be written/presented in a clear, well-structured
way with clarity of expression. At level 3, evidence of independent, critical thought
would normally be expected.
B+ 70 -74% Answer demonstrating a very good understanding of the requirements of the

assignment. Answer will demonstrate very good understanding of theories, concepts,
issues and methodology, as appropriate.
B 65 – 69% Answer will be mostly appropriate, with few errors. Little, if any, irrelevant material
may be present. Reading beyond the recommended minimum will be present where
appropriate. Well organized and clearly written/presented.
B- 60 – 64% A good understanding, with few errors. Some irrelevant material may be present.
Well organized and clearly written/presented. Some reading/research beyond
recommended in evidence.
C+ 55 – 59% Answer demonstrating a good understanding of relevant theories, concepts, issues and
methodology. Some reading/research beyond that recommended may be present.
Some errors may be present and inclusion of irrelevant material. May not be
particularly well-structured, and/or clearly presented.
C 50 – 54% Answer demonstrating a reasonable understanding of theories, concepts, issues and

methodology. Answer likely to show some errors of understanding. May be
significant amount of irrelevant material. May not be well-structured and
expression/presentation may be unclear at times.
FAIL < 49.50
C- 45 - 49% An understanding demonstrated, but may be incomplete and with some errors.
Limited use of material with limited reading/research on the topic. Likely to be poorly
structured and not well-expressed/presented. Irrelevant material likely to be present.
Some relevant material will be present. Understanding will be poor with little evidence
D 40 – 44% of reading/research on the topic. Fundamental errors and misunderstanding likely to
be present. Poor structure and poor expression/presentation. Much material may not
be relevant to the assignment.
F 30 – 39% Inadequate answer with little relevant material and poor understanding of theories,
concepts, issues and methodology, as appropriate. Fundamental errors and
misunderstandings will be present. Material may be largely irrelevant. Poorly
structured and poorly expressed/presented.
20 – 29% Clear failure to provide answer to the assignment. Little understanding and only a
vague knowledge of the area. Serious and fundamental errors and lack of
understanding. Virtually no evidence of relevant reading/research. Poorly structured
and inadequately expressed/presented.

STUDENT ACTIVITY A2 (COMPLEX PROBLEMS)
1.0 Introduction
1.1 This is an individual activity.
1.2 You will need to complete the report in 2 weeks.
2.0 Detail of Task

2.1 Refer to below for details on content:
A. Working for a consultant company, you have been asked to propose and justify
on how your company plans to overcome the problems as below:
1. The proposed construction of a new highway in Batu Pahat (50km). Existing

sub grade/native material is marine clay (12m depth) with very poor bearing
capacity. Propose and justify how you plan to overcome the poor bearing
capacity of the sub grade. Include a cross section drawing of your proposal.
2. A small section (7m) of an existing road project needs constant

maintenance work (every 3months potholes appear). On close inspection it
is found that patches of the area where potholes appear is always damp/wet
on the road surface. There seems to be an underground stream running
very close to the surface of the affected road. Propose and justify how you
plan to overcome this maintenance issue with a long term solution. Include
plan and cross section drawing of your proposal.
