Responsible work and systematic fulfillment of entrusted tasks which are leading to the the realization of exhibition is a necessity.
Team work, including working in groups as well as individual work. Independent performance of responsible assignments, on which the team is dependent. Active search for information and efforts to achieve the maximum level of erudition in the entrusted area (self-study). Active following of Internet art and online exhibitions. Discussions, feedback, collaborative writing. Direct communication with professionals. During the autumn term the work will be more independent (on-line home-office and assignments), coordinated on-line as well as in personal meetings and consultations, in a way required by exhibition preparations and preparation/exhibition timeline.

Assessment methods

Attendance 80% (that is 3 missed personal or on-line meetings at maximum), responsible and systematic fulfillment of assignments (that have the character of preparation for the next meeting and necessary continuous work on the preparation of the exhibition), and participation at collective tasks.

assessment criteria:
accomplishing or non-accomplishing particular tasks and outputs
The evaluation is of formative nature. Informal, continuous evaluation is applied, and feedback is provided. There will be provided informal verbal evaluation at the end of the course based on the quality of students work during the whole semester. Ongoing failure to fulfill your assigned duties within the team and/or non-cooperation is a reason for non granting credit.
