In this session we had some very interesting discussions about the concept of engagement, what that means to us, and how we think it can be proven. We all agreed that learning outcomes are problematic, and not very inclusive, and seem to be quite a blunt tool.
They are simultaneously too vague, and allow for bias, and yet they are too prescriptive in the fostering of independent artists. We discussed the benefits of different perspectives in the marking process, and how knowledge of the student and their process can be both a benefit and a hinderance in pitting their work against learning outcomes.
