Assessments
Students are assessed on both their practical and written skills. The main focus of the course is on a student's performance skills and learning through practical workshops. Students will be assessed formally through public and in class performances as well as informally through workshops. Assessments will be group focused with students required to complete one written evaluation on the completion of each performance.
Reporting
A brief interim report on class work and behaviour will be issued towards the end of Term 1. The achievement for the unit will be reported as a College A-E grade. In addition, the student's approach to class work and behaviour will be reported via the usual key performance indicators.
Student expectations
Students will participate in practical workshops for each topic in order to develop the necessary practical skills. A focus will be placed on group dynamics and the full participation of all students in each task. Students are expected to learn lines at home.
