I missed the first two weeks. I feel lost. The venn diagram looks like a doughnut of the first within the second. Or if you can imagine a doughnut where the hole thing is void like a void within a void. I'm learning how to live with it.
From my snooping I decided I would look at these pages and maybe draw some conclusions.
Guides and Guidelines
I should write this. Started versions here and here but they need time. I need to spin around a little more first. Guidelines on this page help me understand how to write it though.
- What do you want to make?
- How do you plan to make it?
- What is your timetable?
- Why do you want to make it?
- Who can help you and how?
- Relation to previous practice
- Relation to a larger context
- References
not super relevant for now but the outcome criteria for essays are listed which are handy. These are presumably in the handbook maybe should read that again too. In what ways are these useful to my work apart from being required or expected of me?
- Intelligibly express your ideas, thoughts and reflections in written English
- Articulate in writing a clear direction of your graduate project by being able to identify complex and coherent questions, concepts and appropriate forms
- Clearly structure and analyse an argument
- Use relevant source material and references
- Research texts and practices and reflect upon them analytically
- Synthesize different forms of knowledge in a coherent, imaginative and distinctive manner
- Position ones own views within a broader context
- Recognize and perform the appropriate mode of address within a given context
- Engage in active dialogue about your written work with others
A Guide to Essay Writing (including guide to Harvard method).
Technical stuff about structuring and referencing and all that.
- have a question
- have a method of analysis
"Do your conclusions have any relevance to you or anyone else? They should and you should say why. You should expand on the effect or implication of your research for your own work, as well as on the position you take within the larger debate on the subject you have addressed. This is the real point of the project report, and it should not be missed!"
There is also further reading on essay writing mentioned at the end:
For guidance on writing essays and good research practice, you are advised to consult: Tom Davis, How to Write an Essay, http://www.unask.com/teaching/howto/essay.htm http://www.unask.com/teaching/howto/essay.htm. For a more advanced introduction, read Rob Barnes, Successful Study for Degrees, Routledge, 1992, chapter 6, p. 64-87. (This book can be found in the course library.)
A good overview of different types of references and how to cite them, have a look at: https://library.aru.ac.uk/referencing/harvard.htm
Technical stuff about delivering the thesis.
Criteria for evaluation (Thesis)
These are the same as listed above.
