Module Details
Module Indicative Content
This double module is an opportunity for you to work on a more ambitious project devised by you, and negotiated with your tutors. You will be expected to work independently and use your initiative, seeking advice and assistance when necessary. It is an opportunity for you to pursue an idea in your chosen area of specialism in a more sustained and ambitious way than has been possible so far. You will learn about the importance of the way you present work, and will be expected to experiment with this. You will engage in ongoing research of personal relevance to your chosen specialism, and your ideas for the project.
Module Learning Strategies
Generation and development of ideas, communicating with others, self-management of time, decision-making, problem solving, working with materials, methods and types of presentation, written and verbal research.
