Students imagine curating an event relevant to their industry (e.g. film festival, museum exhibition, congress, conference proceedings etc.) and develop a series of program notes (accompanied by a rationale) relating to the production. Students utilise scholarly databases to complete the task and can create programming notes using Cirrus (online exhibition platform).

Designed with an explicit focus on developing writing skills in first year students, this assessment adopts a design approach to a staged writing project. This assessment is divided into several scaffolded tasks that must be completed and submitted cumulatively throughout the semester.
