**Public Performances/events** Students regularly have the opportunity to take part in performances/events throughout their degree, in which we can see growth and application of skills and knowledge. **Regular tutorials** We hold formal and informal tutorials throughout the degree in which each student discusses their work with the module tutor or Programme Director. We look at practical development, conceptual growth and future intentions. **Presentations** Presentations normally take place at the end of a module, exhibition or performance, in order to measure a student’s performance against assessment criteria. **Process workbooks** Students will document their process and practical work in a workbook which demonstrates their learning and individual pathway. **Professional Development Portfolio** The Professional Development Portfolio will include evidence of research, reflective writing and a collection of materials compiled over the duration of the student’s studies, including a list of the activities and events that they have been involved in and a range of professional documents.
