Written Peer Evaluations:
• During class each week students will fill out a brief peer evaluation form for each performer. Written peer evaluations keep students engaged in each performance by requiring them to analyze and report on what they observe, demonstrating their understanding of the techniques and concepts being covered throughout the course. These peer evaluations will also serve as valuable feedback for each performer, as the performer will be receiving a packet of their peer evaluations after each performance.
