Presentation
Include a clear content list with your assessment submission. All your work must be clearly labelled,
stating which assignment it relates to and with your name and student number on every item you
submit. Where there is a clear link between project work and your learning log, or blog, this should be
clearly labelled or cross referenced in some way.
Work should be presented flat in an A1 portfolio mounted on black or white card (thin card is fine, it
does not have to be mounting board), unless it is a canvas or the work is bigger in which case ensure
that you find a way of packaging the work so that it does not get damaged. You can get A0 portfolios
for example. Canvases can be removed from stretchers but must be packed flat. The professionalism
of your presentation is important and will lose marks for poor presentation. Students may consult with
their tutor if they feel unsure about what to include in their submission based on their strengths and
weaknesses and also for guidance on presentation methods.
You must also submit copies of all your tutor report forms. If your tutor has annotated your written
work, then you must submit the annotated version of the written work as well as the final version.
Guidelines on submitting work to your tutor for review (not for assessment).
Package up your work from the section of the course you have completed. This should be sent in an
A1 portfolio plus a box if necessary. Tutors are keen to see your sketchbooks but please do not submit
more than ONE sketchbook each time you send work to your tutor for review. This can be inserted
into the portfolio when you send it to your tutor. You should also include the relevant section of your
learning log, unless you can email this to your tutor. If you keep a learning blog, please provide the
url to your tutor.
Please note that assignments sent to your tutor for review should weigh no more than 5 kg. This
includes the weight of the portfolio and sketchbook. If your work weighs more than this there will be
a surcharge for postage and administration to return your work.
It is a requirement that you purchase an A1 lightweight plastic portfolio. The best are polylite
portfolios made of lightweight sturdy corregated plastic. These portfolios are spacious and boxlike
with plastic catches that can be taped up. These are generally robust and spacious enough for all
student requirements as well as cheaper to post. They are also cheaper than other portfolios. We do
not recommend using leather or leatherette portfolios which are heavy, nor the use of plastic sleeves
which create reflection on work. Transporting any work that is too big to go in a plastic portfolio, either
because its too thick, too long or wide, or 3 D in nature, should be boxed separately and securely,
labelled and added to your contents list. Please do not wrap up work in your own makeshift portfolios,
since this often involves OCA having to re-wrap and repair them, and they are often heavier to post.
