Assessment

Component 1 - The Coursework Portfolio and Personal Investigation is worth 60% of your overall grade. It is marked on a regular basis throughout the course, in order to allow students to develop work to overcome any shortfall in their submission. Component 2 - an examination project worth 40% is taken in May of the second year. In the initial stage of the course, students have set lessons expanding their skills base and developing their portfolio. Students will learn how to set up and use a photography studio, as well as taking photographs outside of this setting. As the course progresses, students will be set themed projects, which are mainly self-led with teaching on a one-on-one basis. Students will be expected to go out and take photographs outside of lesson time as part of their coursework and exam projects.
