You will research, write and present short this oral presentation (LOs 1,2,3). Each presentation will include a brief overview of the relevant academic literature. You will contribute to discussion and debate around a wide range of research topics. You will agree a suitable essay question with the module leader and research and write an essay which will develop your knowledge, understanding and analytical skills to investigate a detailed examination of an area of television studies (Los 1,2,3,4). All students will be expected to contribute to seminar and to VLE discussions with their fellow students (LOs 1,2,3). Research, writing and analytical skills will be developed through the written work, including the essay (LOs1,2,3,4).

There is individual feedback through a tutorial to support you to find a research topic which is of interest and is relevant to Television Studies. The approach to learning and teaching in this module provides extensive opportunities for formative assessment and feedback in class from the Module leader and in short individual and group tutorials. In week 4 there is an opportunity for a group presentation as a practice for the first summative assessment. Feedback is given in advance of the summative Oral Presentation. One-to-one tutorials provide you with an opportunity for feedback on your Literature Review Report and support you in the work on your Essay (Los 1,2,3,4).
