Project with Progressive Supervision

Overview

Progressive assessment with supervised discussions transforms traditional end-of-term submissions into dynamic, semester-long partnerships between educators and students. This assessment model integrates continuous dialogue, structured feedback loops, and iterative development processes that align academic practice with contemporary professional standards. By embedding regular consultation throughout project development, this approach ensures both academic integrity and authentic learning experiences that prepare students for industry expectations.

Harriet Perryer, Lecturer in Digital Experience and Interaction Design from the School of Design & Built Environment, shares her innovative approach to assessing digital design projects through “progressive supervised discussions.”

This semester-long assessment mirrors real industry practices by fostering continuous dialogue between lecturer and student as projects develop. Rather than traditional submission-only assessments, students engage in structured check-ins and creative consultations that provide ongoing support while ensuring learning outcomes are achieved. This collaborative, iterative process prepares students for professional practice where feedback and refinement are essential to creating meaningful digital solutions. The video highlights both this industry-aligned methodology and showcases one of the standout student projects that emerged from this supportive learning environment.
