When considering the learning outcomes for your course unit, it is important to know what you are being asked to submit. These are known as your assessment requirements. In summary, these will include:
- A selection of entries from your learning log. These should evidence the connections between your coursework and the learning outcomes.
- A selection of creative work. This should be a portfolio or other presentation of your final or strongest pieces.
- Your critical review. For Creative Arts submissions this must include your first draft, tutor annotations (where your tutor has done this) and your redrafted final version (where you have done this) based on the annotations and your received feedback.
- A reflective presentation or evaluation. This will be an opportunity to reflect on your learning experiences as a whole. It can take the form of a presentation, short video, or a written piece, and should be no longer than 6 minutes or 750 words. As a Creative Arts student, you will be studying across different disciplines. Use your reflection to consider the relationship of these disciplines alongside an evaluation of your creative and learning journey so far.
