Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & teaching methodsYou will need to show initiative in realising this journalistic artefact (LO1-3). A tutor will support you though a series of individual tutorials. A series of lectures will help you reflect on the scope for in-depth journalistic investigation in today’s industry and also on pitching your work. A highlight of this module will be the chance to pitch your work to a professional standard (LO4, 5). Embedding of employability/PDPThe direct exposure to industry employers and the fact that this piece of work is designed to become a calling card for when students apply for their first job after graduation means this module includes very high employability values. AssessmentAs work on your project progresses you will receive formative feedback and practical input from your tutor. Your project will need to demonstrate substantial journalistic skills and will need to be of a technical quality that you could proudly use it in your portfolio/showreel when applying for jobs in the industry (LOs 1, 2, 3). It will make up 80% of your summative assessment and will be submitted by week 10. The pitch will make up 20% of the summative assessment. This pitch will consist of explaining the central idea of the artefact, who is going to be interviewed for it why your piece of work should be of interest (week 7) (LOs 4,5)Researching/teaching linkagesStaff with practical experience in the industry will play an important role on this module. A core element is to prepare students for working within the industry and supply them with material for their show reel/portfolio. Emphasis is placed on gaining skills, but also encouraging students to reflect on their practice. It is intended that theory and practice will inform each other in this module that draws together skills from several units across the Journalism degree.Supporting equality and diversityApplicants are interviewed as part of the admissions procedure, which helps support equality and diversity. Students are encouraged to bring their experiences and cultural background to bear when deciding on their news report. Where possible, online back-up through VLE will assist students.InternationalisationThe substantial piece of journalism you will produce for this module has the scope of covering an internationally relevant topic and tutors will encourage you to include a global outlook in the work you produce. The lectures on employability and investigative skills will be relevant to the global journalistic market.
