ASSESSMENT NOTES

OTHER REQUIREMENTS:

1. There will be regular studio critiques to review students work in progress.
2. End of semester assessment will be by a panel of Visual Arts staff who will jointly agree upon the grade.
3. The sequential nature of studio work coupled with Workplace Health & Safety considerations make it essential that students attend classes in order to fulfil course objectives in a systematic, safe and professional manner. Students who miss more than two workshops may be putting themselves and others at risk and will be asked to provide appropriate medical or relevant certification.
