Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
The aim of a dissertation is to develop and demonstrate analytical and organisational skills in a particular area, this giving students an insight into the world of research and scholarship. A dissertation does not necessarily aim at exhaustiveness within its field or topic, nor does it need to incorporate original research, although both elements (ie exhaustiveness and originality) may be apparent in the completed dissertation.
Assessment Information
All MEL dissertations will be approximately 6,000 words in length (excluding bibliography, footnotes and appendices, but including quotations) and written in the target language. One word-processed copy in a temporary binding (e.g. spiral or hard plastic spine) must be submitted to the Teaching Organisation by 4pm on Thursday, 24 March 2011 Week 11, Semester 2, of Final Year.
