The Final Critique
The grade is usually based not on an exam, but on a critique. Here your work is tuned in or displayed to the instructor and the class. Sometimes, several or all instructors at a school are involved in the final grade determination.
Some classes have more than one critique and you gain some experience in the process. This short summer class had only one final critique. For our loop in loop class, all the jewelry worked on during the class, including samples, is placed on the black table cloth. Each grouping is by one student. The instructor and all the students gather around for the critique. The instructor passes one student’s work around in a tray while the student makes comments. The instructor then makes comments. This photo was taken during a break, while one student is talking to the instructor.
That sounds like it could be tough on the ego. At least a test is private.
