Students will engage in the creative process of rehearsal and perfonnance The ability to demonstrate the engagement in the creative process of rehearsal and perfonnance will be measured by a completion task list which includes a calendar matrix This combined team-taught production series of classes (THTR 209, THTR 176, and THTR 276) had a total of 45 students enrolled. Of those 45 students, 43 students completed all performances Two students missed perfonnances because of illness related problems The ability to demonstrate skills required for a quality perfonnance will be measured by a skills task list using a predctennined rubric (attached) The use of the tasks list which is given out to the students on the first day rehearsal and is posted on the CANVAS Web-page is helpful as a tool. As instructors we refer to it to keep track of the progress of rehearsals Because of the high motivation to The experiential Learning be part of these audition only Objective needs no changes classes, students who are cast in productions rarely have to drop out. The completion rate is very high. We are going to encourage students to make daily contact with CANVAS (these are Web assisted Production classes) and with Social Media especially designed for each production. Outcome # 2 Students will demonstrate the ability and skills required for a quality perforrnance This semester we are going to individually handwrite comments for each student on the grading rubric so that there is concrete feedback. We may revert back to our oral evaluations if this proves to be too cumberso~ will attempt it in Fa 01 3 J>.- Page I ! Our Production Classes have usually gone well in the past with immediate and constant feedback (which is the nature of rehearsals). I see no changes need to this Learning Objective since it is the core of the production exoerience.
