Graphic Design BA (Hons) Assessment 2013







The Assessment Hand-in Date for the level 3, DV3100 Graphic Design
Will be on Thursday 16th May. From 10.30 – 16.00.
We will take the work in, in the 3rd  year Teaching space (Room 1.49) from 10.30am on that Day
No Work will be accepted for Assessment after 18.00pm

All work has to be available and has to be easily identified for marking – make sure that you submit portfolios clearly labelled by each module
DO NOT submit TWO modules in ONE portfolio
If your work for one module has boxed or mixed elements or is submitted as a portfolio and has books and journals separately – label EACH and spend time putting these together AS ONE secure, identified package                                            
Modules will have supporting documentation, drawing books, texts and DVD/USBs so include and prepare the preparatory work, edit it and photocopy if necessary any documentation that you have. All working and development work is important and it will be expected to be seen during the assessment and referred to when marking the work. The presentation of this is as significant as the final pieces
Staff marking your practice will include: TF with Dan Duran, Ed Gill, Matthew Bucknall and the external examiner, Amelia Johnstone, will review the overall process of marking in Graphic Design; the examiner may see several of you, having reviewed the work that you have had assessed by the team
The timing of her visit will be in the second week following the hand-in
 
The Examiner will need to review some students and discuss with them their work – this should not be a daunting process and you should not feel that this ‘means’ anything. Part of her role is to get to know the Course and its students, and the new staff team, as well as you individually;  how we do things…
You need to be able to be contacted by mobile or by e-mail during the week beginning 20th May. Make sure this is clearly visible on the labelling of your work
You may be called in to attend a meeting with the external – but all of you must be available. This is usually organised over one day. It would be expected that about 8-9 students might be seen – many of you may have met Amelia when she called in before Easter.
The process is that we always co-mark modules; more than one assessor is present and the protocol is that the two or more tutors involved, review and discuss the material seen and what they know of the development of the brief for your final major. Then we cross-reference a sample of the levels of achievement, once the internal marks are prepared - then discuss between ourselves and refer, if necessary to other members of the team –Jonathan,  Stephen etc
The independent and the collective view is part of the complete process
We will work to assess your module submissions ready for Friday 24th May, to collect
You will need to work upon your exhibition spaces and the work needs to be prepared for exhibition. The RR space will become one of two exhibition areas used for Graphics end of year show
The exhibition opens on the 30th May and the external will be here on 29th to review both a folio submission from some of you and to view work going up on 30th in the morning
All workbooks and PDP material should be together
An exhibition committee will be formed from within the final cohort and the staff team co-ordination will be by Matt Bucknall, Dan Duran, Stephen Barrett and Tim Foster
You will be issued with a short list of needs to identify, in terms of your work and the form it will take;  a show reel of moving image work will be put together to exhibit as part of the overall GD show – you may arrange for individual work to be shown by negotiation with the team and the agreement of your peers on the Ex. Committee
