Final Assignment! Independent Project

Assessment Rationale

This module is intended to test your ability to work independently. The successful synthesis of all modules delivered throughout the course promotes the ability for self-directed study. One substantial assignment brief is set, typically eight-weeks in duration, giving scope for interpretation using the underlying themes of the course as described in the course rationale.

Learning Outcomes

• Formulate and articulate clear intentions;
• Formulate a brief around a given subject that is within your ability and displays your strengths;
• Take a given subject and make a personal statement that communicates to others and answers a brief;
• Plan and pace your work to meet external demands;
• Work effectively with limited supervision.

The Brief

Part One

Students are asked to choose one of the quotes as a starting point, or to do an independent project totally of their own choice, and formulate a brief, indicating possible avenues they may wish to explore.

This is registered with the Course Leader and constitutes ‘Part One – Proposal’ form (300 words + reading list), which must include a reading list submitted by you.

Part Two

‘Part Two – Project Review’ (500 words) is submitted by the students at the end of the module. This review document is self-evaluative in nature and is intended as a tool for you to review the final projects’ intentions and conclusions, alongside all research work and the final project execution.

Both forms are included in the assessment criteria for this module.
