This technique offers a laboratory-style assessment that engages students in creative skill building relevant to their discipline, and scaffolds into a major assessment piece. On alternating weeks students are given a 'walk-through' of a particular skill (or practical technique) covered as part of the course, then proceed to practical laboratory sessions in which they must work to solve an applied problem/task that engages these skills. In the School of Music (from which this entry is generated) these tasks include creating a compositional mix or editing raw files into a radio dialogue. These progressive lab sessions (of which there are approximately 5) scaffold into a larger class-based project that require students to work collaboratively to produce a final presentation and/or product. In MUSC3020, this takes the form of an Album recorded and produced by the class, but could take numerous forms depending on the discipline. For example, Education students might design a series of lesson plans that contribute towards an overall curriculum design framework; Social Science cohorts might work as a research team to execute a class project, etc. This project is scaffolded by the inclusion of a reflexive piece (short peer assessment essay), that are graded accumulatively.
