Assessment for Problem Based approach will be based on a product process model including peer and self assessment. Students will be asked to decide the ratio of marks for the process and the product (the exhibition) as well as their individual work in the show. An external assessor could also mark the exhibition. For example 30% for the group process, 30% for the exhibition opening night marked by an external, 20% for the individual work in the show and 20% for a reflective journal/notebook
