• Feedback individually to students, post-assessment
Each submission will be made by the student to staff and students taking part in the module as part of studio-based 'crits'. The assessment in crits is a form of immediate oral feedback. Crits are timetabled for each submission stage. Staff will assess and grade the work at the crit and give grades to the student afterwards on an individual basis. Feedback will be in studio or online and can be oral (for further clarification) if requested by the student. Variations occur for the final summary document (5), this will be submitted at the end of the teaching term and no feedback will be given other than the grade for that stage. The assessment stages will be: 1: Research: oral presentation with a supporting written document. 2: Definition of design approach: oral presentation of graphics with supporting texts 3: Developed design: oral presentation of graphics with supporting texts 4: Detail design investigation: oral presentation of graphics with supporting texts 5: Summary document: submission of graphics with supporting texts
