Assessment Information

Two creative projects (50% each).

N.B. The assessment will involve a compulsory ten-minute presentation to the examiners by each student, or in a group where appropriate to the project, the times for which will be arranged individually and in advance. The presentation is not part of the assessment, rather it takes place merely to expediate access to computer software configurations that are otherwise difficult to document.
