Module description

A series of compulsory fortnightly meetings forms an integral part of the work. These group meetings are to discuss general approaches and difficulties of researching, preparing and presenting the outcome of the Project. You will be assigned to small groups for a series of one-hour meetings over the semester. You will meet with your assigned tutor in week 1 of the semester to outline what you might do for the Project. You will produce an abstract of your Project to be presented at the next meeting (week 3) and an indicative bibliography (week 5). In week 8 you will submit a structural outline of the project, and give a presentation in week 9. The final Project will be submitted at the end of week 11.
