These are as follows:

 

 Section A: Grammatical accuracy

 Section B: Correct use of language

  Section C: Structure and development of text

 Section D: Use of relevant source material

 

Each section takes the form of a checklist. Once you feel confident that you have included each point throughout your assignment you can check them off the list. This is to encourage you to develop an academic writing style which will enable you to produce the strongest piece of academic writing in any field.

In the checklists, each criterion is briefly explained to ensure that you fully understand it. If you feel that you need further clarification of a particular criterion, there is a glossary linked to each one including examples. Once you feel confident that you have checked all the boxes, you can the grade your work for each criterion between 1 and 5.

The checklist format provides a simple but effective way to identify strengths and weaknesses in your academic writing style and allows you to work independently to improve the quality of your work, thus achieving higher grades.
