How assessment works in Media Studios

The posts in this collection bring together guides for developing and writing assessments in media studio teaching.

The assignment structure for studios takes an iterative or itinerative approach. Early assignments generally ask students to start exploring concepts that are key to the studio and/or to begin making small exploratory works or writings. The second assignment may continue this development, or build on it in some way, for instance by drawing in theory more explicitly to the works. The third assignment generally asks students to take stock of what they have done to this point in the studio, and present some ideas for or an already started work-in-progress that they will continue working on to submit for assignment four. Assignment five is common across all studios, and is a reflection, prompted by questions, on the exhibition of studio works at the end of the semester.
