Format
- 20 minutes: give a presentation
- 10 minutes: the panel can ask questions regarding what you presented
- 10 Minutes: we ask you to leave, so the panel can discuss your research and representation, when we're done we will call you back in
- 5 minutes: discussion & feedback on your project proposal
Presentation structure
20 minutes is short, be selective in what you want to say and show. A rough structure could be to use 10 minutes revisiting the first year and then 10 minutes to present the proposal and the thesis outline. In revisiting the first year, make a selection of a particular moment or an outcome from each special issue that you find relevant to your proposed project -- maybe a moment when a key question arose, or that gave you insight about something you now want to develop further. You are also welcome to show examples from work outside of the Special Issues if you find them relevant.
The central focus of this assessment is the project proposal. Your thesis outline is an important supporting document that also serves the assessment criteria (see below).
Criteria (from the course handbook)
5.2.2 Integrated Formative Assessment: Proposal Phase (Trimester 4)
The second integrated assessment is in the fourth trimester, and evolves around the graduation project proposal. Passing this integrated formative assessment allows the ECTS for third and fourth terms to be awarded.
In the proposal you analyse the questions and methods running through the work you have realized so far, formulate an artistic question and approach for further research, and establish a critical framework relevant to your practice. The graduation project proposal marks the transition from the first to the second stage of the study programme, and should thus give evidence of your ability to use what you have learned in the first stage to inform and steer a self-directed artistic research project.
The assessment criteria for the Graduation Project proposal are:
- The ability to select appropriate topics for advanced research.
- The ability to develop and undertake a suitable strategy for research.
- The ability to critically reflect upon, analyse and evaluate work already undertaken and to use the knowledge gained to (re)define the aims and direction of future practice.
- The ability to describe and motivate objectives, topics and methods in a written proposal.
- The assessment panel also takes into account whether the proposed project is realistic in scale and ambition, considering the limited time frame for the graduation project.
This integrated assessment is called Proposal Phase and is supported through the Graduate Research Seminar.
Prior to the assessment process, you must archive documentation and elements of the work and research you wish to submit for examination. We will not pass people who have not delivered appropriate documentation of their work on time.
