Assessment method

To enable students to develop creatively, formative and summative feedbacks are given. Formative assessment offering advice on how to improve your work occurs at key points before Christmas and before Easter. This provides time for students to reflect on their progress prior to a final or summative assessment. Assessment is designed to enable students to participate in the measurement of their own progress. Students will submit a range of coursework including an online reflective journal/blog, sketchbooks, design sheets, finished artworks, screen-based work, installations, technical/production files, essays and audio-visual presentations. Teaching and Learning The majority of the active teaching and learning is studio/workshop based and practical in nature supported with lectures, demonstrations (both onsite and on location), tutorials, seminars and critiques. There is also a programme of talks by specialist guest speakers as well as field trips. Wrexham University is committed to supporting our students to maximise their academic potential. We offer workshops and support sessions in areas such as academic writing, effective note-making and preparing for assignments. Students can book appointments with academic skills tutors dedicated to helping deal with the practicalities of university work. Our Student Support section has more information on the help available. In terms of particular needs, the University’s Inclusion team can provide appropriate guidance and support should any students require reasonable adjustments to be made because of a recognised prevailing disability, medical condition, or specific learning difference.
