COURSEWORK weighted at 100%

100% coursework which includes a number of group negotiated and aggregated components encompassing:

- the presentation of an artefact in the form an integrated exhibition of the (themed) work which will be open to specialist and public view (this will be concurrent with the AMD Degree Shows and if possible, extended AMD shows i.e. London D&AD shows(Design and Art Direction)). -weighted at 20% (l.o. 3)

This module asks you to propose a unique theme for the Scheme/Award to celebrate the success of your three years work culminating in your final year's Independent Project. The proposal should encompass/reflect individual journeys into a group negotiated theme and will comprise of:

1) justifying your analysis and reflection through careful debate and clear and reasonable arguments;

2) attending and participating in regular interim meetings, tutorials and seminars (between yourselves and tutors) to evaluate and refine (group and individual) work in progress;

3) apply suitable professional production techniques with skill and thought;

4) manage and direct the flow of information, content, and recording of development of the overall negotiated aims to a successful conclusion.

This module will be delivered as a series of tutorial/seminars/workshops, group discussions/debates and work development "clinics".
