Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning and teaching methods including their alignment to LOs:The characteristic learning and teaching method for writing practice modules on this programme is based in the relationship between pre-writing, critical self-reflection and editorial feedback. Classes generally begin with guided critical self-reflection on the previous week’s homework challenge, enabling you to apply your technical understanding to analysing the effects of the decisions you made in your rough draft. In most weeks, a number of homework submissions will be chosen for masterclass feedback. If it’s your turn, your story will be distributed to the group and you’ll be invited to read aloud, before discussing your critical self-reflection with the tutors. Masterclass feedback is an editorial problem-solving dialogue, designed to enable you to develop your work-in-progress to publication standard, and the success of this method is evident in the number of student homework assignments which have gone on to achieve publication and prizes. Classes will then focus on a specific technique, introduced by a brief lecture, supported by examples, analytical reading and discussion (LOs 1 & 3). This is the technique you’ll use in the next weekly homework challenge, for critical self-reflection and masterclass feedback in the following week’s session (LOs 2, 4 and 5).In the middle of the trimester, you’ll design an individual or collaborative field trip, in order to experiment with observational writing techniques (LOs 1 & 4). You’ll then create a presentation to share the results with the rest of the group. You’ll also take turns to present creative responses to your personal reading through the medium of an entertaining “digested read” (LO 3).
|
The formative assessment takes place in the middle of the trimester, and is a shorter version of the final summative assessment. It’s an opportunity for you to test the knowledge and skill you have gained up to this point against the module learning outcomes and summative assessment criteria. For this, you will submit an original first-person short story of 750 words and an accompanying critical reflection of 750 words. You will receive individual written feedback via Moodle by Week 10, enabling you to identify areas for further development before the final assessment.
|
For the summative assessment you will submit an original short story written in the first person of approximately 3000 words, together with a critical reflection of approximately 1000 words.
