Extended Project Qualification

Assessment

Independent research based study, based on a subject of the student’s choosing. The final piece to be assessed could be an essay of 5000 words, performance, or artefact e.g. a dress, sculpture, script or musical composition. Students will make a final presentation to staff and peers, where they will explain their learning and production journey, and the final piece. They will also field questions. Students are graded on: their final piece, research, planning, monitoring of progress, presentation and evaluation. However, their final piece does not carry as many marks as the other elements. Assessment will be by Thorpe House staff.
