Group Work Skills Marking
You will mark yourself and your group colleagues using a modified version of the Key Skills marking scale developed by the University of Loughborough. With reasonable effort, you should all be in the 3-5 range on those scales.
Give each other the chance to show off your key skills to each other. Don’t let differences in language or discipline be a barrier!
