The principal piece in each course, judged against professional teaching standards rather than ordinary essay criteria. Because those standards originate outside the course, a paper can be well written and still lose marks for never demonstrating one explicitly. Addressing each standard visibly, under its own heading, is what the assessment is looking for.

A practice dissertation applies established evidence and measures the result. Submitting one where the other is expected gets returned regardless of quality, which is the most expensive mistake available in a practice doctorate.
