Notes for Tutor and Learners: The assignment is likely to offer some specified opportunities for Merit and Distinction.

Within the whole unit is necessary to cover the range of M1-M3 descriptors for a Merit award to be made, but only when having completed all the basic pass criteria. For a distinction to be awarded, distinction descriptors D1-3 have to be covered across the unit. The Distinction can only be awarded if all the Pass and Merit criteria have been successfully passed. The indicative characteristics show a generic performance and the context note breaks it down into applications to the task and a specific performance allied to that contextualised task. Not all the Descriptors for M or D will be covered in any one assignment. Merit and Distinction performances can be clustered together for a particular task and may address single criterion or multiple criteria within reason. See below for an example for Merit.

Tutors see link and pages 13-21 for extra details.

LO /ACs covered

LO 1/AC 1.1-1.2

Descriptor for Merit or Distinction

E.g. MERIT 1: Identify and apply strategies to find appropriate solutions

Indicative characteristics

E.g. Complex problems with more than one variable have been explored

Context note / reference: Put in the task number/Assessment criteria reference.

Describes specifically and without ambiguity what the learner needs to do in order to meet the performance criteria for Merit or Distinction ( Task performance and level)

E.g. Task 1: LO 1-1.1 and 1.2. This is met by carrying out in- depth interviews which contain relevant questions based on knowledge of quality systems. To gain a Merit, learners will show exploration of the different degrees of role and interrelationships between them in ensuring quality for each function. Evaluation will show bottle-necks and offer solutions.
