| Course Description | Students enrolled in the Visual Culture research sub-plan of the Liberal Arts program may seek the approval of the program convenor to undertake an independent research project of extended length. The aim of the project is to allow students to apply the conceptual and methodological skills they have developed in the program to a particular research question or issue. Projects will be designed in conjunction with and supervised closely by appropriate experts. Students will be encouraged to incorporate conceptual and practical skills, and to create products in which visual or digital methods are integral. |
| Learning Outcomes |
Student skills objectives will be consistent with and contribute to the student skills objectives of the Liberal Arts program and will aims to develop: 1. skills in written and verbal expression for a variety of relevant academic and / or professional purposes. 2. skills in interdisciplinary thinking and the ability to apply theoretical ideas to case studies developed from personal observation. 3. skills required for humanities and visual culture research. This includes data-collection, analysis, and verbal and written presentation at the standard of a postgraduate degree. 4. skills in thesis planning and writing that are necessary for students contemplating further research projects and for those considering enrolling in a higher degree program (such as the MLA Hons or a PhD). |
| Indicative Assessment | 10,000-12,000 words of written assessment (or equivalent project-based work). The nature of the inquiry will be established at the commencement of the teaching period through a written proposal that will be developed in consultation between the student and supervising lecturer and then submitted to the program coordinator for formal approval. |
