Join Jon and Paul as they discuss the realities of running a business in the creative industries.

Episode 4 - Assessment Within the Arts

In this episode, Paul and Jonathan discuss the relative merits of assessments within the arts. For many disciplines like learning a musical instrument, dancing, and drama, as well as various courses through colleges and universities, assessments and grades are part of the process. However, this can lead students down a path focused on attaining certificates, which can be a distraction.

However, assessments provide much needed accountability to those tasked with giving and providing the instruction, and graded pathways can help structure a journey through a labarynthine artform.
