discussion question or topic or, in some cases, your output for a particular activity or exercise, and a well-considered response to the contributions of
at least two of your Classmates. This requirement is meant for the students to engage with the content together with their classmates, and with the
teacher throughout the course. It refers to the participation in the various course activities and is connected to all course content and outcomes.

Assignment

outcomes.

Authentic Performance

for the whole semester. They are expected to display their creativity in creating painting, composing a simple music works or simple poems, and
acting like an artist. This could be done individually, by pair or group.

The Learning Logs

This is designed for each student to chronicle or document the weekly experiences, tasks, accomplishments, realization, and most importantly learning
on a per module basis. This will be submitted at the end of course in the form of a film documentary or as a blog or vlog.

Peer Evaluation
