Evaluation of experiential learning does not take the form of grades.
Narrative evaluation is more in-depth and holistic. It looks at the
process of learning rather than merely the outcome, and it provides
feedback. Your faculty advisor will provide the evaluation upon which
credit is granted, and will decide if revisions must be made in your
portfolio. If you have a field advisor, he or she will be asked to
evaluate your work as well. You will also write your own Self-
Evaluation. With your advisors you must determine just how work will
be evaluated, and what the requirements will be for documenting your
learning.
Are you going to judge yourself on how well you write? How much you improve in your use of photographic lighting? On the values of your inner growth? On how many essays you produce? A combination of any of these or any others? Self-evalutation can be scary, but it is a crucial part of the reflection that is so important in experiential education.
