Assessment results

Final post here before I close this blog. My provisional assessment result arrived yesterday and I was delighted to get 73%. I had been worrying that my essay would let me down, it not being a critical review in the traditional sense. A link to the marksheet is here:

On the plus side they were pleased with my creativity and experimentation and my contextualisation and the engagement with various peer groups. They were specifically complimentary about the contextualisation, which was very good news.

Areas for improvement and also research going forward that they suggest include focusing a bit more on one specific type of experiment (I think) rather than the very broad approach I have used so far. They mentioned the lack of image references, which was fair comment as I only fully referenced the assignment and specifically mentioned posts. The thought of doing them all retrospectively made me feel appalled. I’ve learned this lesson and all my references in Landscape are fully referenced as I go along.

Overall, I agree with their pointers for the future and am more than happy with the result. Onwards to the second half of the degree. Let’s hope it takes a little less than 6 years.
