Learning Outcomes:
Students will develop skills in articulating a project to different audiences, preparing work to a schedule, and critically analysing work-in-progress. By the end of the module students should have a reflective grasp of their aims in writing/producing their dissertation and a clear plan of the project. Students should be able to show critical understanding of the epistemological and methodological issues involved in the research design of their project.
Indicative Module Content:
Most classes will require the preparation of sample pieces of writing or of media production related to a particular aspect of a student’s research, which will be circulated prior to the class to allow for feedback and discussion. This will include short summaries of how a project engages with current scholarship, methodology and treatment of sources, research strategies, and outlining the relevance of a project.
