5 | Outstanding: Fully answers the question, is clear, and demonstrates excellence and best-in-class achievement for the criterion. |
4 | Strong: Clearly answers the question and shows above-average achievement, though may lack the exceptional distinction of a 5. |
3 | Satisfactory: Addresses the question and is relevant to the award, but may be missing depth, specific examples, or clear evidence of strong achievement. |
2 | Limited: Provides a basic or partial response with some relevant information, but would benefit from more detail, examples, or clearer alignment with the award criteria. |
