Formal, summative assessment of the entire semester folio takes place at the end of the semester. For end of semester assessment, each student submits a folio of work that demonstrates engagement with the course, the development of ideas and skills, and a personal direction. Documentation of ephemeral works or works completed off-campus, visual diaries and other notations done in direct relation to the course structure are all admissible (100%).

Note all recommended texts are available in the Lenton ParrLibrary; however, limited copies are available and students should consider purchasing these books in the longer term. Often extra copies are available from one of the main University of Melbourne Libraries on the Parkville Campus.
