ML3211 Visual Arts Dissertation

ML3211 Visual Arts Dissertation

2015-16 Terms 1 and 2

Convenor: Ruth Harvey

Assessment:

5,000 word dissertation (100% )

Overview

This half-unit enables you to write a dissertation of 5,000 words in English on a suitable, approved Visual Arts topic of your choice for which appropriate supervision is available in the School. It offers you the opportunity to produce an extended piece of independent, research-led work of greater depth and scope than is permitted by the shorter word-limits of other courses. The dissertation is an exciting chance to produce a substantial piece of sustained, independent work.

You will attend two Dissertation group workshops, the first at the start of the academic year, the second towards the end of term 2, and a number of formal individual supervision sessions with one or two appropriate academic staff members; the length and frequency of these sessions will be arranged with supervisors although the total amount of this teaching will not exceed two hours over the year. These sessions will include methodological advice, discussion of the plan, monitoring and feedback, as well as topic-specific discussion. Tailored training sessions run by the Information Services are also organised.

Bibliography:

Given its nature, there is no set reading for this course. Appropriate bibliographical advice will be provided during supervision sessions.
