Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
In trimester 2, this module is delivered in fortnightly seminars which are focused on your practice and individual projects. Online resources will extend the support and aims of the module to address specific topics such as the significance of research within a field, what we mean by rigour, etc. and seminars will apply these to the specific fields identified by students (LO2), provide a space for you to explore various theoretical frameworks (LO3), and allow for a rigorous and innovative engagement with existing literature and artefacts (LO5).A one-to-one tutorial during this trimester will allow you to discuss your specific ideas and research questions (LO1) with your supervisor, and begin to interrogate your creative process in a very direct fashion (LO4).In trimester 3, you will attend two intensive weeks of supervision, discussion, and workshops which will bring together their individual explorations (LO1,4) with their methodological and field-specific discussions (LO2,3,5). During each of these two intensive weeks (week 4 and week 9), three sessions (morning/afternoon) will be dedicated specifically to this module and include at least one one-to-one tutorial with your supervisor for this project.
|
In Trimester 2 you will give an informal 15 minute presentation to your tutors and peers in which you will outline your theoretical framework for your research, and explaining the context for the work. In trimester 3 poster/multimedia presentation (details depending on the nature of the project) outlining the theoretical framework(s) that you are employing to examine your practice (LO3) and this will be accompanied by a written document outlining your ideas in terms of significance, originality, and rigour (LO1), and your process of discovery and creation (LO4).

Component 1 (25%):You will give a 20 minute presentation about the context of your work (LO2,5) following which you will answer questions from tutors and peers.Component 2 (75%): An essay of 6000 words evaluating the process of discovery and creation (LO4), and demonstrating how ideas have emerged through your research (LO1). Specific research fields in which you are placing your work and important examples of practice relevant to your work will be identified and the context that they create for your work interrogated (LO2,5). Appropriate theoretical frameworks for the discussion of your research process will also be explored throughout this essay (LO3).
