  • 5.1.2 Assessment Type Two: Integrated Evaluations of the overall progress of each student’s selfdirected

research throughout the course (Trimesters 2,4,5,& 6)

  • At postgraduate level, it is of crucial importance that you effectively integrate skills and knowledge into your

developing practice. For this reason we not only assess separate course elements, but also we work with Integrated Assessments to evaluate how effectively you are bringing together the new knowledge and skills you acquire into mature self-directed practice-based research. These assessments take place four times during your course in total: Trimesters 2, 4, 5, and 6. See below for specific details of each assessment. Each student is required to make a formal presentation of the progress of his or her overall work within the course to that point: at each point they are expected to present. For each of these assessments criteria have been formulated that incorporate a series of progressing learning outcomes: requiring an increasingly substantial, precise and complete body of research and work that demonstrates a developing practice and working methodologies. In this way these Integrated Assessments act as a check on the developing skills, knowledge and insights of the student as they progress through the course. They create a significant formative evaluation point for the student and also act as a quality control mechanism for the grading of the individual key activities that are graded by individual tutors. Any integrated assessment will take the specificities of your own practice into account, and will also ask which criteria you have developed for your own work and how you have employed them in taking decisions in developing your practice. Your own developing criteria are specific to your practice and essential to your abilities as an independent practitioner. In other words: what is being assessed is not a set of separated skills and aspects of knowledge, or the work you have done in one single activity or project, but your ability to use and integrate skills and knowledge to be an independent learner and practitioner and to produce work on an advanced professional level. These qualities are reflective of Master level studies according to the Dublin Descriptors. (see Dublin Descriptors section) These Integrated Formative Assessments are undertaken by a panel consisting of core tutors and moderated by the Course Director, who each give their individual appraisal and then agree on a joint assessment.

  • 5.2 Specific Assessment criteria for the periodic Integrated Assessments
  • 5.2.1 Integrated Formative Assessment (Trimester 2)
  • The first integrated assessment is held in the end of the second trimester. Passing this integrated formative

assessment allows the ECTS for the first two terms of self-directed research to be awarded.

  • At this juncture you are expected to prepare presentation of the work and self-directed research you have

undertaken in the context of the thematic seminars and around them, and discuss with a team of tutors what you have learned, and how you might steer the next phase of your studies.

  • In other words, we would like you to show us the purpose, the methods and the outputs of the research you

have been undertaking in your first two terms at PZI. We want to see primarily the work you have been undertaking as your self-directed research, but we are also interested in how you have engaged with -- and what you have taken from -- the PROTOTYPING seminars and the SPECIAL ISSUES, as well as methods you have developed in your READING WRITING & RESEARCH METHODS seminar.

  • You are required to make a presentation with visual support: please show us concrete examples of the work

and bring any drafts, and prototypes you have developed, as well as describing your research thinking and procedures. We want to know what you are making, how you are making it, and why you are making it.

  • Prior to the assessment process you must deposit archival versions of the material you wish to submit for

examination [via the new online format Andre emailed you last week] in the study prior to the presentation. We will not pass people who have not delivered appropriate documentation of their work on time.

  • This integrated assessment is a moment for not only staff to assess where you are, but also an opportunity for

you to reflect on what you have done so far. In other words, it is intended as a moment to take stock in terms what you have done, and elaborate on further developing interests (both conceptually and technically). Crucial to this assessment is your capacity not just to show your successful projects, but your ability to reflect on points of improvement - in other words, the ability to talk about your failed experiments, and what you have learned from them, is just as important as speaking about what worked and why.
