Assessment method

Projects-: Professional practice, innovation, enterprise and engagement will be modelled and applied in live projects and assessed through the development of an online creative portfolio. Each piece of coursework will be presented as a digital portfolio. Assessment of portfolios is split as follows: 80% Practice Portfolio 20% Coursework Portfolios Practice Portfolio-: Practice portfolios are used to capture multi-dimensional evidence relating to the product of a creative process (e.g. performance, composition, installation, improvisation, workshop, site-specific activity, interactive artefact (e.g. Computer Game or Website), and other artefacts relating to the creation of this material, including formative assessment evidence (e.g. plans, notes, evidence of collaborative development / devising). Coursework Portfolios-: Practice and Theory are integrated, so that research skills, critical reflection and evaluation, and contextual studies are embedded in your project work throughout the programme.
