Module Brief
| Brief Title: | Context of practice 3 | ||
| Module Tutor(s): | Amber Smith, Simon Jones, Richard Miles | Briefing Date: | Friday 09/10/2014 |
| Context: | |||
| This module will be used to inculcate a synthesised academic understanding of both the context of practice and the nature of practice itself. It will also provide a theoretical platform from which student’s Extended Practice module may develop. This module represents a culmination of three years of development in researching, academic writing and critical thinking whereby student's abilities will be directed towards resolving an individually specified research problem. | |||
| Brief: | |||
You will produce a 6,000 to 9,000 word extended essay AND a related practical artefact(s) (ie. prototype (testing of an idea) / or body of content in response to the knowledge researched) including research notes and documentation of development (blog/journal/poster ). in response to an agreed question / title. The text should include an introduction to your theme, the development of an argument followed by a conclusion that makes clear your position at the culmination of your enquiries. The essay and practical work will be assessed as a unified research project based on the criteria set out in the module specification and therefore will evidence your developed appreciation and understanding of the interrelatedness of theory and practice in the field of Graphic Design.
Your extended essay will be bound and presented to academic expectations - lectures will give guidance.
Your extended essay must not exceed 10% of the upper word limit or fall under 10% of the lower limit. It will be referenced throughout using the Harvard referencing system and will contain a bibliography.
