A final evaluation

A promotional poster

By an oral exam only

By peer assessment alone

A risk assessment

A press release

A ticket sales report

A lighting invoice

It is broad, like 'improve my acting'

It is decided only at the end

It is the same for every student

It is specific and measurable, so it can be practised and evidenced

Filing it neatly

Translating it into another language

Stating the decision each piece of research informed

Reading it aloud in rehearsal

Because performance is not assessed at all

Because the moderator only watches the first scene

Because marks are random

Because the moderator marks the portfolio evidence, which a thin record fails to provide

Only the date

The skill targeted, what was tried, and what changed, ideally with footage

A summary of the whole play

The names of the audience

Ignore it once the unit starts

Compare the final work back to the baseline it set, with evidence

Rewrite it to look more impressive

Submit it instead of the evaluation

Only acting

Only dance

A performance discipline or a production and technical role

Only music

Assemble it from memory at the end

As a deliverable in its own right, built and dated as you go

As an optional extra

As a single final essay

It does not; each unit is unrelated

It only matters for the AS grade

It builds the skill-development, research and record-keeping habits the whole course depends on

It replaces the A2 units

Writing too long an evaluation

Strong live work undermined by a thin, undated portfolio

Researching too much

Setting too specific a skill target
