Assessment

Assignment 10: Endings and Beginnings – Formative Feedback

As you approach the completion of this unit, take time to reflect on your experience. Consider how your practice has informed, impacted and challenged you in new ways and set up new ground for the future.

By this point in the unit, you should be able to articulate specific creative understanding that demonstrates in-depth awareness of personal practical and contextual knowledge. You should also have developed the beginnings of a sustainable practice. Do you feel you have achieved this? If not, what do you need to build upon in the future?

Reviewing Your Learning Log

Make sure your Learning Log is up to date. If you skipped any of the exercises, then now is the time to complete them. Follow up on any suggestions from your tutor or peers (practitioners, techniques, books) that you might have previously overlooked.

Check that the content of your Learning Log is logically accessible. Ensure all posts are appropriately ‘tagged’, e.g. assignments, exercises, research and reflection.The ‘reflection’ element is vital; a blog without reflective aspects will not constitute a true Learning Log. If you have kept an additional hard-copy research folder, it is advisable to either photograph or photocopy it for security. Make sure that all your work is clearly labelled with the number of the project, section, exercise and/or assignment.

Your submission must look professional. Assessors are allocated equal amounts of time to look at individual students’ work, so remember: first, you do not have to vie for the assessors’ attention; second, can the assessors quickly access your work? They would rather spend the time looking at your work than looking for it!

If you have feedback from previous unit assessments, remind yourself of the assessors’ comments. These may be useful to help you think about this submission.

Submit for Formative Feedback

When your work is complete and ready for review, add links to your work within the assignment activity and submit for tutor formative feedback. Use the comments box to include any extra questions you may have.

Forum: Unit Feedback

The Creative Arts Perspectives Forum allows students a place to discuss, appraise the unit and offer constructive feedback and suggestions. What do you think works well, and what could be improved?
