Assessment

60% The Personal Investigation: This is the ‘major project’- an in-depth critical, practical and theoretical investigative project/portfolio and outcome/s based on themes and subject matter that have personal significance. The personal investigation includes the completion of a 1000 word illustrated essay. This contains images and analytical text that relate to the research and practical work undertaken. 40% The Externally Set Assignment: This second project involves a 15 hour practical exam in the workshop (usually three x five hour days). This is based on a choice of stimulus material from the exam board (set in February of the UVI). The ‘practical exam days’ build on the research, design and practical work that will have been undertaken during that term.
