This distance-based module builds on previously acquired skills in reflective practice, research and communication and enables students to develop a wider range of skills in professional practice, critical language and presentation. Students are required to undertake a critical analysis of their own work and to create a body of text and related images, presented on a CD, which deploys the skills required to compile an exhibition catalogue.
Aims of course
1 To develop students' competence in the critical analysis of studio-based work
2 To develop visual literacy in the analysis and deployment of methods of visual presentation
3 To develop students' confidence and competence in networking within the group to take ownership of their own study plan
