What to do and what not to do during student presentations (recommendations)
The aim of the assessment is to provide multi-voiced and constructive feedback on the works presented by students. Delivered within the course ‘Public Presentation of Semester Work’, it is the main summative review of the work done in the studios over the preceding semester. During the public colloquium, students have the opportunity to see their work in a wider context, to learn to present it clearly to those present and above all to the committee, whose members are as a rule unfamiliar with the circumstances in which the work came about, and to receive expert feedback that supports their further artistic development.
- Pay attention to student presentations.
- Raise questions, observations and comments after the presentation has finished, not during it.
- Aim to provide constructive, specific and well-reasoned feedback.
- Evaluate presentations in the context of the student’s studies.
- Give students ample space to respond to comments.
- Keep your own contributions concise so that others also have a chance to speak.
- Use the names and pronouns by which students identify themselves.
- Treat everyone present with respect.
- Bear in mind that the school context may limit certain types of work.
- Avoid judgements that leave no room for debate (such as “it’s terrible”, “I don’t enjoy it” or “it bores me”).
- Take part in the debate; your voice is important.
- Avoid ad hominem criticism.
