| Brief Description | This module provides the opportunity to undertake a negotiated independent study. It is envisaged that the outcome will be a body of practical work but a period of work placement may also be taken as part of this module. The assigned tutor for student's subject will agree assessable outcomes based on student's written proposal. |
| Indicative Syllabus | Students will be expected to negotiate, and thereafter initiate their brief, or briefs, with the advice of the module tutor (tutor allocated will be from area of practical study in which module is to be undertaken). The proposal will be required in word-processed format and will form part of the assessable work. Briefs should provide the opportunity to research into a subject of personal interest. The student's proposal should clearly identify aims and objectives of the work. It is expected that the brief will allow students to demonstrate a high level of understanding, control and individuality, commensurate with level III work and requirements. It is helpful if students carefully read the assessment criteria to ensure their initial proposal provides opportunity to achieve the range of requirements examined at assessment. Students should be ambitious, visit exhibitions, and be aware of the critical thinking, the leading players and the contemporary work of designers, photographers and other creative artists, which may help their work. This should help their work to be cutting edge, vital at this stage of their study. |
| Learning Outcomes | i. Knowledge and Understanding The knowledge and understanding derived from a i i) proposal will iii) vary between students however the independent study should promote an understanding iv) of the requirements and discipline necessary to researching and negotiating a period of self directed study. ii) SkillsThese will vary between project proposals however it can be anticipated that the development of communication, time-keeping, budgeting and note-keeping skills will be common to all students taking this module.Ability to analyse and clarify personal aims and objectives will be promoted in taking responsibility for personal development. Allied to this will be the development of a greater critical awareness of contemporary practice in chosen area of study. |
