Uncompensated fail
……..
Work shows a scant understanding of the topic and presents a less than competent response. The work displays erroneous knowledge of the primary evidence and/or lacks an adequate knowledge base, and either fails to present an argument or presents one that is incoherent and/or irrelevant to the question. Makes little or no use of secondary or theoretical literature or uses it inappropriately and derivatively; is heavily reliant on material derived from classes without evidence of independent assimilation or understanding of it. Referencing (including quotations, footnotes and bibliography) is poorly presented according to departmental criteria.

Result in the failure of the dissertation regardless of any merit it may have.
