Rating Scheme
Excellent: The material provides a sufficient number of assessment items that meet indicators 1 and 2.
Satisfactory: The material provides some assessment items that meet indicators 1 and 2 or sufficient assessment items that meet indicator 1.
Poor: The material provides no more than one/a few assessment items that meet indicator 1.

To judge whether there is a sufficient number of assessment items, the reviewers need to consider whether all ideas in a given key idea are adequately assessed. However, reviewers are not expected to evaluate and rate each idea separately and average the scores.
