| Summary | Within this course you will be asked to critically explore and respond to a range of compelling environmental contexts, to consider how creative practice is positioned as a critical response to the world around us. For this purpose you will be introduced to a set of project opportunities where environmental issues are distinct, in particular the relationships between people, land and natural resources.
Projects will call on students to identify methods of creative approach that build through logical stages towards detailed structural and visual outputs. This process will be documented as lines of critical inquiry, involving experimentation and material implementation.
Aims:
To formulate responses to varied contexts into refined presentational work;
To promote realisation of detail and refinement within the material considerations of your projects;
To enhance an ability to effectively present a body of work in a professional manner to a wide audience.
Mode of delivery:
Installation, Presentation, Project review, Studio based and tutorial engagement.

| Additional Information (Assessment) |
The course will offer a structured approach for development through individual tutorials and group discussion. The criteria for assessment are aligned with the learning outcomes and course aims. |
| Feedback |
Feedback for this course will be provided from tutors in verbal (formative) and written (summative) forms at key points, notably ongoing studio tutorials, mid semester reviews and end of semester assessment. This is aligned with the Universities common feedback structures, including:
Formative Assessment is designed to provide you with feedback on your progress and inform development, but does not contribute to your final grade. Formative assessment allows your tutors to give you feedback prior to undertaking a piece of (summatively) assessed work. Formative assessment aids understanding and development of your knowledge and skills and is intended to promote further improvement in your level of attainment. Some courses have formatively assessed assignments but not all courses have this.
Summative assessment is the process of evaluating (and marking) your work at a point in time. You will receive a grade for each course relative to the programme assessment criteria and individual course objectives. Marks are confirmed by at the end of year Examination Board and are combined to produce a single, numerical mark.
Refer to the ASN Programme Handbook for details of the Common Marking Scheme and grade descriptors.
