Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Teaching will involve weekly lectures giving the critical and socio-cultural and historical contexts for each of the module’s core texts/films and theories, and will also model the kinds of analysis required in engaging with the primary texts and films (LOs 1, 2, 3 and 4). In tutorials, you will then have the opportunity to deploy these analytic strategies yourself in a student-centred learning environment. From the first week of the module you will be actively addressing LOs 1, 2 and 3 in tutorials, and as the module progresses and you develop confidence and expertise you will also engage with LOs 4 and 5 through assessment activities. The assignments are designed to help you critically engage with module content (LOs 1-5), to learn how to meaningfully apply theory to texts (LO4), while also learning valuable skills in digital research and knowledge production (LO5). Emphasis will be placed on independent learning, reading and scholarship (LOs 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5), and this independent learning will be documented throughout the trimester in class.
|
Formative assessments will take place in weeks 4 and 6 ahead of the essay submission in week 7, and in weeks 9 and 11 ahead of the essay submission in week 13. You will be given verbal feedback in lecture and tutorials on your ability to summarise and comprehend the postcolonial theories which you will have to use in your essays (LO3). This will allow you to form the basis for your essays since the theories will be framing your comparative and contextualised textual analysis (LO1, 2, 4, 5).
|
You will be required to write two essays. The first one of 1,500 due in week 7 will weigh 40% of your grade and the second one of 2,000 words due in week 13 will weigh 60%.You will be able to choose from a range of essays questions and your essays will need to use theories to frame your comparative textual analysis as well as engage with the relevant contexts that inform the texts (LO1-5).
