"Assessment in architecture and creative arts schools has traditionally adopted a 'one size fits all' approach by using the 'crit', where students pin up their work, make a presentation and receive verbal feedback in front of peers and academic staff. Inaddition to increasing stress and inhibiting learning, which may impact more depending on gender and ethnicity, the adversarial structure of the 'crit' reinforces power imbalances and thereby ultimately contributes to the reproduction of dominant cultural paradigms. This book critically examines the pedagogical theory underlying this approach. It discusses recent critiques of the 'crit' and the reality of it's day to day experience is examined through analysis of practice. The essays from leading expertsin the field of pedagogy, explore the challenges for education and describe how changes to feedback in pedagogy can shape the future of architecture and the creative arts. It brings together many diverse voices across the UK, Europe and the US to review,critique and propose an alternative form of feedback that is universal in schools of Architecture and common to many Creative Arts programmes. It is essential reading for any academics who teach architecture or the creative arts"--
The book explores the challenges for education and describes how changes to feedback in education can shape the future of architecture and the creative arts.
