This seminar was about the upcoming assessment on Thursday/Friday, in which we have to prepare our blog and concertina book for this project; we were told it was going to be a one-to-one with a tutor, discussing the work we have done over the weeks and where we plan to go with the ideas we have collected.
A fact we were told about this project, and upcoming projects for this university year, was how they assess our work:
- a formative assessment can change after it is given; it isn't a final grade but it anticipates what you're expecting to get in combination with your ideas and ability to create your chosen theme.
- and a summative assessment is the final grade by the end of the year
This seminar was very useful to me, as I was told what I need to do to get the best grade for this project, and reassured me that a grade I will be given won't be set in stone; I've had trouble keeping up to speed with completing my blog and work in my sketch book (due to not having as much free time to start work because of the travel time to get home), so if I am able to finish this project by December to the best of my ability, I will hopefully be happy with the grade I will get.
