The assessment criteria for the Bachelor of Arts in Drama and Theatre Studies (Bdram) fall into two broad but related categories:
The assessment of scholastic skills and knowledge, which takes the form of written and oral examinations, essays and research projects. Competence in this category will be demonstrated if the information and conceptual content of the work submitted by the student is correct, and demonstrates a clear ability to interpret questions, to analyse and interpret information, to communicate the resulting deductions clearly and logically, utilising the appropriate discipline-specific conventions.
The assessment of creative, performance, technical, administrative and other practical skills, which takes the form of an assessment of practical work assignments. Competence in the category will be demonstrated if the student demonstrates a familiarity with the fundamental skills taught, an awareness of related theoretical concepts and conventions, and a clear ability to apply these skills, theories and conventions in a practical performance context.
Integrated Assessment:
Integrated Assessment takes place by means of an evaluation of final year performance projects in which students work in teams to create a theatre production for examination purposes. Such projects are presented and assessed at the end of the year.
The projects entail the application of all the skills (imaginative, cognitive, writing, voice, movement, acting and technical skills) worked on in class during the year and competence will be demonstrated by the student’s ability to integrate and activate such skills and knowledge in comprehensive work of theatrical communication.
