Assessment and learning outcomes

Assignments

For every session, a practical and a writing assignment are given on which you work on an individual basis. The format of the result of this assignment is given at the assignment itself. After the plenary discussions, you need to refine your elaborations and provide a critical reflection on them.

Portfolio

At the end of the term, you are asked to create a portfolio of all the exercises that we did during the classes. The subjects of this portfolio follows the table of contents of this website. Per subject you deliver the following:

  • Your elaboration of the reading exercises (in one way or another: use photos, links, google drive, ...)
  • Your elaboration of the writing exercises
  • A small description of the practical exercise that we did in class (if we did)
  • A short personal reflection on the subject

Your portfolio will be assessed from a theoretical viewpoint, both artistically and philosophically.

Is the portfolio complete? Does it contain answers to the questions that were raised during the module?

Is the portfolio thorough? Do the answers prove to be interesting, complete, thorough, detailed, ...?

Is the portfolio creative? Does it contain creative and novel ideas and insights?

Is the portfolio convincing? Do the works and the texts gathers in the portfolio actually make sense?

Active participation

Apart from the eighty-percent rule, you also need to be active during the class. This includes (but is not limited to) being present during the theoretical part (making notes etc.), being active during the individual elaborations (actually working etc.), and being engaged during the discussions (asking questions etc.).

We will take notes on the participation of each of the students and will try to make sure everybody gets the opportunity to make themself heard.

Learning outcomes

By the end of this module, students will be able to:

  1. Describe and reflect upon their own relationship to the world as makers and observers, in terms of self/other, world/reality, and the materiality of time and space.

  2. Communicate their findings and insights clearly and thoughtfully, in a way that invites dialogue rather than just transmission.

  3. Find different kinds of sources (visual, textual, auditory, experiential, artistic) relevant to their artistic practice.

  4. Demonstrate the ability to critically interpret and contextualize resources, and situating them within broader cultural, social, or historical frameworks.

  5. Develop a personal artistic or theoretical position in relation to selected sources, expressing this in writing, visual form, or time-based media.

Competences

Level Orientation (semester 1-2): The student shows insight into the nature of the profession and the tasks, and sensitivity and potential for the continued acquisition of the competences.

Research and Reflection: The student is able to critically and from multiple perspectives consider their own work and working method and that of others. This allows the student to deepen their own design or artistry, make it more layered and position.

The student has a curious, inquisitive, and entrepreneurial attitude towards other perspectives, work practices, and ways of thinking. By sharing findings with fellow students and with the professional field, the student also questions their own ways of thinking, working methods, work and positioning.
