The Amazing Marking Machine, A Process for Efficient, Authentic Assessment

In the assessment of performance, examiners, whose specialized skills are in applying well-formed and experienced aesthetic judgment, are often involved in peripheral tasks such as administration or down-time while waiting for performers to set up. The goal of this project is to develop assessment processes that minimize the peripheral and down-time for examiners and students alike and provide a structure for authentic assessment tasks and detailed, specific, and timely feedback for students.
