Assessment

On this module students complete one assignment, a Student Devised Assessment, that supports them in improving their understanding of how to apply imagination, by engaging with theory, reflection and practice. The students are asked to consider how they can bring together their own interests and the requirements of the project within an academic context.

Students are encouraged to be as creative and imaginative as they like, and to choose a ‘form/medium’ for the project which supports and furthers the ideas they have been exploring. An imaginative form of assessment might include creative writing, filmmaking, graphic illustration, musical composition or it might include an entrepreneurial project in cultural engagement or creative technologies.

This project allows the student to critically engage with applying theories and practices of imagination in the creation of a new piece of work. The student will need to communicate how and why they arrived at the definition of imagination with which they are engaging, in reference to theories of creativity and/or creative practice. They will include a critical and reflective element of the process of learning throughout the module and in relation to the creation of the Student Devised Assessment.
