Year 3/4 TACOS Feedback by Mark Doughty https://padlet.com/mdoughty8/sz81f0pqs2qvvgje Please provide feedback on these areas of your Year 3/4 modules. Course reps and staff are keen to hear your voice! en-us 2022-09-15 09:16:29 UTC 2023-11-06 00:36:45 UTC hello@padlet.com Assessment Content https://padlet.com/mdoughty8/sz81f0pqs2qvvgje/wish/2777033096 I find the assessment to be incredibly daunting. If it were mostly focused on the application of PCG techniques I would be fine with it, but there are many elements that complicate matters:

  • We can't use Houdini outside of labs

  • Houdini is new to everyone

  • Unreal Engine is new to everyone

  • We have to produce a video

  • We have to prepare for a Viva, a new style unfamiliar to everyone

  • We're judged on scene composition (this doesn't seem relevant to PCG)

  • The topic is too vague. I would prefer a list of items I should be creating instead of a general concept to represent as part of my scene.

  • Referencing on top of all of the above just seems excessive

  • Our familiarity of PCG techniques is only reflected in 30-50% of the grade. The rest is presentation

  • The CRG is very subjective and vague in some areas (for example, what does "Development was clear" and "Scene was well delineated" mean?). We can't be confident in the grade we receive. I would prefer grading to be more objective, like grading on application of specific techniques.
