HOW THIS UNIT WILL BE MANAGED

Managing the Paper

  • This is an individual and independent research project - not a taught paper
  • Students must have ownership of their research by developing an individual brief
  • The project needs a time limitation and regular monitoring and support
  • Class time is for support and monitoring - not for teaching the topic content.

Initial Support for Students

  • Revision and extension of students' grasp of key concepts and medium specific terminology
  • Teaching of research skills and methods - primary and secondary
  • Guidance on sources of research to get you started

Ongoing Support for Students

  • Class and individual discussion time to draft and finalise initial proposals
  • Tutorials to check on progress – ongoing progress monitored on progress record chart
  • Provision of a schedule with interim deadlines and occasions to check on satisfactory progress
  • Essay and Exam practice - self review and target setting.
