Revision as of 11:01, 9 December 2015

7 Oct

The AIM of this weeks seminar is to focus particularly on the description of the proposed project:

10:00 Meet and Steve will give intro

10:30 Split into studio groups

Read each other's drafts and give feedback

Each writer will remain silent whilst they listen to the readers' feedback

Make sure your reader gets the answer to these questions:

1) What is the project? (give as concrete a description as possible)

2) What are the practical steps needed to make it?


13:00 Work on your proposal, dealing with the pointers your peers have made.

16:00 Meet as group to chart progress and set achievable aims for the next session (for your proposal AND your practical work)

Intro

You may be asking yourself:

Question: “What do I need to do ahead of the next Graduate Research seminar?”

Answer: “Two things: write a concrete proposal and make a prototype or experiment relating to said proposal”.

Recap: you are all pretty strong on analyzing the method you use and all of you have something interesting to read and write about, so now you need to A] write very practically about what you could make and how you would make it and place that at the beginning of your proposal (don't begin with abstract, theoretical things, the people assessing your proposal will first want to know what the project will be before they find out why it exists and the ideas behind it) B] make something (a model or a small prototype) ahead of the next session (October 7).

The deadline is the 16 November, which will fly by, so apply yourself to the task of writing as practical proposal as possible and making real work to test the proposal(s) you make.

When we meet next week I want to see material progress since the draft you made during the last session.
