Clear introduction, body and conclusion The question has been fully answered from start to finish. Essay is interesting, exciting and logical. As complete an answer as can be expected from a Grade 12 candidate writing under examination conditions. Very minor technical errors/content gaps do not disqualify a candidate from 100%. Level 7 80–89% 56–62 Really good essay. Argument sustained throughout introduction, body and conclusion. Clear understanding of the time period and the question.

AND/OR One aspect of the question is dealt with very superficially and the other crucial aspect(s) are completely ignored. Evidence includes a smattering of accurate, relevant evidence and there are huge important gaps. Style of writing is quite weak. Essay is very difficult to read. Much shallow repetition. Largely colloquial. Little to no formal structure although some sign of accurate sentence construction. The candidate struggles to see cause and effect, similarity or difference, different perspectives and to remember and to apply learned information. This candidate might have mixed-up information but there is a smattering of accurate and relevant evidence although it does not actually address the specific question. Look for some implied (even if unconscious) focus. Entirely narrative but weak too. Level 1 21–29% 11–20 Perhaps some very vague implied focus. Argument non-existent. Very little relevant evidence. Weak style of writing. Little structure. This candidate has little historical understanding or ability or has made almost no effort to learn his/her work or to understand the question.

Difficult to read, very weak. No structure. This candidate has either no historical understanding or ability or has made zero effort to learn his/her work or to understand the question. GLOSSARY: Gap: candidate leaves out a core fact. Omission: candidate lacks detail with regards to a core fact. Narrative: retelling of core facts without argumentation. Focus: candidate has successfully linked evidence to argument (indicate by a F notation). Attempted focus: when the candidate has relevant evidence and has tried to link to the topic but has not linked fully (indicated by an AF notation). Implied focus: when the candidate has evidence about the topic, but not linked the evidence to argument, is rather narrative and leaves the marker to link the evidence to the topic as the link is implied (indicated by an IF notation). Tagged on focus: the evidence in the passage is not related to the argument at the end of the paragraph – even if the last line links to the topic (indicated by a TF notation). Forced focus: similar to the above and these two are often used interchangeably… also applies to the situation where the candidate does not vary language and uses the same repetitive sentence at the end… NOTE candidates must not be punished for linking the topic at end, as they are required to link the evidence to argument, but if the statement is exactly the same at the end of each passage then it appeared forced (indicated by an FF notation).

Determine which оf the fоllоwing systems is/аre stаble without doing аny math, if able. (Ignore the fact that the choices are out of order (they are randomized).)
The unit step respоnse fоr а BIBO stаble system (with nо zeros) is shown. Estimаte the rise time, the percent overshoot, the peak time, and the 5% settling time from the plot. Round your time values to the nearest half-second. There is a nice value to which to round your percent overshoot. Round it to that nice number. Rise time: [tr] Percent overshoot: [po] Peak time: [tp] 5% settling time: [ts]
