Unit 12 Assignments 2007 - 2008 |
|||
Below are links to MS Word copies of the Assignments set for Unit 12 during the year 2007 - 2008. Please use these references to review your assignments, complete or make additional submissions for them prior to the end of the first year of the course. Important: Don't forget to save and archive your digital work safely and be ready to produce it for your tutor when it is requested. 'Lost' work cannot count towards your porfolio so it is vital that you at least have sufficient print outs and back up your work to CD ROM regularly if possible. Portfolios: Be sure to make print outs of at least your final product on all of these digital assignments and place them in a portfolio ready for assessment. No printed work means your assessment grade will suffer. Evaluating your work: You can enhance your Unit 12 work/sketchbook by including an Action Plan sheet with any or all of your assignment work. You can use the 'Action Plan' section to record a 'diary' of how you produced the work and what you discovered, then an evaluation of it - i.e. did the piece(s) work well? Did they satisfy the brief? If you did the work again what would you change? How was producing it different to working in other units? Download a copy of the Action plan sheet using this link Download a Evaluation/Analysis helpsheet using this link If you have any queries, please use the link on the front page to contact your tutor. If you wish to view or print these assignments outside college and do not have Microsoft Office, a free Office compatible program (for Windows, Mac or Linux) is available at this site.
