Quotas in later year subjects

All enrolments are subject to quota and unless otherwise stated in the subject description, quota places are distributed evenly over the re-enrolment period, with preference on each day being given to students completing their degrees in the year of enrolment.

Presentations

In Process Based Performance (DRA12PBP) and several other subjects, students are required to prepare, in small groups, selected scenes from plays or group-devised scripts for performance to and subsequent discussion with, other students taking the subject. These non-public performances are called presentations and students can contribute to them in non-performing capacities if they wish, but the presentations are a required part of the class work. Owing to timetabling difficulties, it is normally necessary for students to attend on one or more evenings or weekend days during the semester for the presentations. Precise information will be given at the beginning of each subject.

Assessment

Assessment in drama maintains a balance between the reflective and practical aspects of the discipline, with the emphasis on written work. In all drama subjects, students must pass the written work component in order to pass the subject.
Contributions to workshops, seminars and presentations can count for up to one-third of the assessment. This component includes, not only the practical activity itself, but also preparation (including required reading) and discussion.
Attendance at workshops and seminars is obligatory. Repeated absences without acceptable reasons will result in failure. There is always provision for special consideration and for consultation over the assessment of individual students.
