Cop3 - Brief and Understanding

To define an individual analytical and evaluative research interest within the study of art and design contexts.
To develop skills in appropriate written and practical research and evaluative formats that reflect an understanding commensurate with BA (Hons) Level 6 academic practices.
To employ a synthesised understanding of theoretical and practical contexts of individual creative practices and concerns.
To adequately prepare learners for the theoretical and practical research demands of postgraduate study.
Students will develop a cohesive research project, with practical and textual outcomes, in response to a proposal developed during the later stages of the Level 5 programme.This module will require the students to organise and undertake a personal programme of in-depth critical research, to collate and present a coherent written argument and related practical investigation based on analysis and evaluation, presented in the form of an extended formal written study and related practice-based research. The chosen subject will be relevant to a student’s main course of study and will be used to support and inform their specialist practice. The extended study involves self motivated research but will be supported by individual tutorials aimed at helping the student to develop the appropriate scope and depth of subject matter required within such a project.The work undertaken will reveal the student’s appreciation and application of research approaches and methodologies.

Brief
6,000 to 9,000 word extended essay in response to an agreed question / title.The text should include an introduction to your theme, the development of an argument followed by a conclusion that makes clear your position at the culmination of your enquiries.Your extended essay will be bound and presented to academic expectations - lectures will give guidance.A negotiated signifcant practical artefact(s) (ie. prototype (testing of an idea) / or body of content in response to the knowledge researched ) including research notes and documentation of development (blog/journal/poster ).
