3. I don’t think improvisation should be included in music literacy, because I think that kind of creativity lives in a different part of the brain. People can be the most brilliant musicians and still not be able to improv at all. They may be able to make up some combination of pitches and rhythm, but nothing with any real musical value.
4. I think student influence being a problem depends entirely on what the assessment is. It can be a problem in assessment that requires group participation. But if students are that influenced by their peers, than that is their problem. I feel like students who want A’s will do the work for it, and if they don’t want an A and would rather be influenced by peers, that is their prerogative.
8. It is important to know if your project is product or process based, because the assessment will be designed differently for each. Process based assessment will not be concerned much with the product, and so the project must have more of an extensive process and a product that is not critical.
