Assessment
Student learning and progress is assessed by means of critiques
and portfolio reviews. Each course within the department has a strong component that
addresses the critique process. Students learn how to interact with one another and the
instructor to determine their strengths, weaknesses and how they might achieve better
results in their work. At the conclusion of each semesters work, a final critique is
held with the instructor and student to assess the students progress.
Portfolio reviews are made to determine the students
readiness to enter the major and/or to assess the students growth within her/his
course of studies. |
