Weekly Misbehaviour

This is a running practice, not a single deliverable. Each teaching week sets one small, rough experiment under the heading This Week’s Misbehaviour — something makeable in roughly 15–30 minutes with whatever materials are on hand. Together the twelve prompts build a personal Misbehaviour Toolbox that the three larger assessments draw on directly.

The brief#

Try the week’s prompt, and keep what you made — even the ones that fail.

There is no quality bar here beyond a clear intention. A prompt that does not work is still useful evidence, as long as you can say what it was testing and why it did not land.

What you submit#

Whatever the week’s prompt produces — a photo, a scan, a short note, a rearranged sequence — kept somewhere you can point to at review. Completing 10 of the 12 prompts is enough for the full mark; there is no separate rubric for quality.

The spec

The brief poses the problem and leaves room for a response. The spec is the fixed part: what a marker checks. Some lines can be checked mechanically; the rest call for judgement.

• at least 10 of the 12 weekly prompts are submitted
• each entry names the one idea it was testing
• an unsuccessful experiment still states its intention clearly

How it is marked

Marked on completion rather than polish. Submitting at least 10 of the 12 weekly prompts earns the full weight; an experiment that does not work can still count, provided the intention behind it is clear.
