• Getting Out of the Senior Studio Hamster Zone through Assessment
  De Angela Duff
  How do you evaluate a student's creative process versus their work? In this talk, I will discuss the tools I use to assess both in Multimedia's Senior Studio, as well as the engagement of students in this process via self-assessment.
• Everybody in the Pool! Developing Course-Embedded Assessments that Contribute to Program Goals
  Krishna Dunston
  When the Brind School introduced the Living News project for freshmen, faculty teaching first-year courses had to determine how the project would be reflected in their individual courses. Using the languge of shared program goals, this was an opportunity to develop course assignments which I knew would contribute to conversations taking place in other areas of the students' program.
• Creating Dance Assessments: The Journey of Languagung Embodied Practices within Academics
  Connie Michael
  Languaging Dance is an interesting task of crafting words that give meaning to the embodied forms of studio practice. The task of building meaningful criteria with multiple faculty in different genres was very challenging. The criteria had to reflect our School of Dance goals for the new curriculum, be meaningful to faculty and students and become tangible in the studio. The result is a living rubric document that we implement, learn from, reflect on, adn revise...an ongoing cycle...
