Abstract

This project/paper/provocation examines the different approaches of universities and conservatoires in teaching and training, and suggests that regularly giving students marks hampers rather than improves their learning. A growing sense of the learner-as-consumer is coinciding with year-on-year grade inflation, and students' need to succeed is eclipsing their right to fail as part of their learning process.
