The assessment of the course will be 100% coursework. The aims of the coursework are to demonstrate the student’s ability to investigate and show examples of various modelling methods (Coursework #1), as well as produce a high quality 3D animated character (Coursework #2). The coursework has incorporated formative assessments as milestones. The milestone for Coursework #1 will check the students’ proposal (pre-production) for a character and the tutors will provide oral feedback. As part of the assessment, Coursework #2 will include a demonstration to check the students’ work in producing the animation. The students will receive written feedback, including feedback on their report (a 1500 word evaluation) and the demonstration marking form.
In the lab sessions towards the end of the academic year will use peer assessment. Students will be required to assess an animation produced by a colleague to help them develop a range of skills such as measurement, observation, reasoning and working in teams. "What a student discusses with others and what a student teaches others enable him or her to acquire understanding and master learning." (Silberman, p6).
The Support Structure chapter of the course specification takes in consideration issues such on-line material, Support for non-English students, support surgeries for students who may need extra help, online forum, extenuating circumstances, etc.
