Description:	Learning journals have been used extensively in Art and Design at University College Worcester (UCW) as a means of evidencing the kind of approach, deep/surface, students have taken to their learning. They are increasingly being recognised as a more reliable means of establishing whether students understand what they are doing than the finished artefacts such as paintings, ceramics and even essays. This paper will outline the role of the journals in relation to the assessment scheme, which is structured around Biggs’ SOLO taxonomy (Biggs J, Collis K, 1982), and explore several of the problematics that arise in both their use and their non-use. The paper will also examine the nature and use of learning outcomes since they play a significant role in the journals themselves.
