Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
You will be supported in the planning and undertaking of your individual research portfolio (LO2). Field research will enable you to examine and apply various research methods (LO1). Critical appraisal and analysis of the issues relating to the portfolio subject (LOs 3,4), will be supported through regular formative feedback. Application of critical insight into the process and conclusions of the research process (LOs 1,3,4) will be creatively presented in the production of a complete portfolio (LO5) in a chosen media.Teaching and learning methods on this module reflect the variety of topics and approaches to self selected projects, both in theory and practice. Tutorials, seminars and one to one supervision will explore and develop students’ capabilities in research, analysis and portfolio presentation. Supporting documentation and bespoke handouts will facilitate learning.Students are assigned one or more supervising tutors, and will meet regularly (weekly or fortnightly) to discuss progress either one-to-one or in supportive peer groups.
|
Formative feedback is provided throughout the module in class from peers and tutors during regular one-to-one and/or group discussions and presentations of work in progress. Formative assessment will take place at two midway points during the module: upon submission of key draft components of the portfolio. The timings of these formative assessment points will be agreed between students and supervising tutors at the beginning of the module. This formative assessment will help to direct your learning prior to submission of work for summative assessment.
|
Summative assessment will take place through submission of a portfolio of work in response to the coursework assignments. Portfolio submission provides an opportunity to demonstrate learning across all learning outcomes for the module. The portfolio is due in week 15. This submission constitutes 100% of the overall summative module grade. The portfolio will present your account of the design research process you have undertaken throughout the module as you have gained and developed an understanding of design research practice, along with all required deliverable outputs specified in the coursework briefs. Submissions will be assessed based on assessment criteria provided within the coursework assignment brief at the beginning of each project. These assessment criteria are mapped onto the learning outcomes for the module allowing you to clearly demonstrate evidence of achievement of the learning outcomes for the module (LOs1-5).
