A.3.2. Assessment criteria are measurable and clear in terms of grading (weight and summative evaluation)

Constructively aligned assessment criteria begin with a noun that complements the verb in the assessment tasks objective. For example, if the objective is for students to "explain how concepts in the subject interrelate" one of the criteria might be "Clarity of explanation". That is, the criterion describes the quality in the assessment task that will be judged during marking.  (http://www.iml.uts.edu.au/assessment/criteria/index.html)
