Approaches to Teaching and Learning:

The dissertation or creative project naturally demands a substantial amount of independent work to conceive, research, execute, and edit the final product. That being said, students will work closely with an academic supervisor who will provide them with structured support through each stage of the process. In this sense, students will learn to strike a balance between task-based and reflective modes of learning. Students will meet with their supervisor early on in the trimester to establish expectations in terms of meetings and draft-reading.
