Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
The module will be taught in a two-hour interactive lecture and a one-hour tutorial. The disparate nature and thematic structure of the material in the first half of the trimester means that there will be a greater focus than usual on interactivity and collaborative learning (LO1, LO5; see below). Students will be encouraged to work collaboratively to navigate the cultural, intellectual and publishing networks and currents of the early twentieth century. This will continue in the second half of the trimester, which will focus on key texts that pick up the themes of the first part of the module, offering an alternative view of the relationship between text and context (LO2).The focus on wide-ranging research aims to sharpen students’ research skills as they approach their final year. The module also solidifies learning about the early twentieth century that takes place on a variety of other modules with different focuses across the programme (LO3, LO4).

There will be two formative elements. 1) Students will work in groups to compile a document including key facts and resources about topics for each week (LO 5). This will sharpen skills in identifying criticism and appropriate historical information, and will provide a grounding for the whole group. Students will be encouraged to continue to add to this document through the term. Verbal feedback will be provided in the course of in-class discussion by the teaching staff and student peers.2) Students will have the opportunity to receive formative feedback on one piece for the portfolio (see summative assessment). This feedback will consist of the three most important factors to revise/issues to address ahead of the final submission. Students can submit this at any point up to the end of week 6.

The summative assessment will consist of two parts.1) A portfolio of four introductions (250 words each, = 1000 words total, 25%) to extracts from the magazines we will discuss in class. Entries should address a single idea (as represented by the first five weeks of the module), but the extracts should come from four different magazines and discuss at least two different authors (LO1, LO2, LO3, LO5). The pieces should display a good understanding of magazine form and show clear evidence of strong research skills and sophisticated interpretation of extracts. Students can submit this at any point from the end of week 6 to the end of week 10. This allows them time to engage with formative feedback, consider later teaching on the module, and reduces pressure on a single submission point.2) A final piece of work (3000 words, 75%) taking one of two forms (LO1, LO2, LO3, LO4):a. either a comparative analysis of two literary and/or film texts from the second half of the moduleb. or a discussion of a single text from the second half of the module, extensively situated among contemporary debates by drawing on a variety of magazine extracts.This piece of work is submitted in week 14.
