Why this response received Band 5.0
The response clearly recognises the six-stage sequence and accurately outlines the application and approval steps. However, it is under length and stops after scheduling, leaving the reports, evaluation, and final-report stages unexplained and slightly misstating when credits are obtained. The highest-priority improvement is to cover the entire process in order, including the weekly reporting requirement, final-week evaluation, and submission deadline.
IELTS Writing Criteria Scores
Task Achievement
The six stages are named and the first stages are partly described, but half of the process is omitted and the response falls below the expected length.
Describe all six stages and state accurately that credits are awarded when the final report is submitted before the last week of the spring term.
Coherence and Cohesion
The introduction, overview, and initial details follow a recognisable sequence, but progression ends prematurely and the overview adds a vague unsupported comment about efficiency.
Follow the flowchart from application through final report, using one paragraph for the first three stages and another for the final three.
Lexical Resource
The response uses some relevant process vocabulary, but several word choices, including “indulged,” “scholars,” and “epistle,” are unnatural or inaccurate in context.
Prefer precise everyday process terms such as “involved,” “students,” “acceptance letter,” “submit,” and “receive credits.”
Grammatical Range and Accuracy
Meaning is usually recoverable, but recurring article, preposition, agreement, and passive-form errors make several sentences awkward.
Use controlled passive structures for each stage and check forms such as “a minimum of ten hours per week” and “submit it to the professor.”
