Revision as of 13:30, 11 February 2014
12-2-2014
Seminar agenda:
Note: the emphasis on this seminar is to build on the skills you used last year, taking notes of key texts, describing your work, contextualizing your practice in relation to other work and to relevant texts. The thesis is an extension of those practices and as we discussed last time, you have already developed a resource of texts (including your essay on method and your project proposal) that provide you with material that can be built upon for the thesis. BY THIS STAGE IN THE COURSE you should have (at the very minimum) a thesis abstract. This describes in a few lines what your thesis is about;
a thesis outline (broken down to chapters with a word count for each chapter);
a core bibliography (comprising five key texts at the most);
a collection of annotations of relevant texts; texts about your own work and practice.
these should be gathered together with a link from this page
it has been three weeks since our last meeting and I expect to see significant progress
Agenda for seminar:
I will be seeing you in small groups. This gives you the perfect opportunity to use the day to work exclusively on your thesis throughout the day.
AGENDA:
10:30 we meet and quickly review progress – assess whether you have met or surpassed the aims you set for yourself last time (see below).

22-1-14
1: THE MOST USEFUL RESOURCE YOU HAVE IS THE WORK YOU HAVE DONE SO FAR, your notes and essays you wrote last year, the essay on method you did at the end of the third trimester, the various drafts for your proposal and the proposal itself, provide you with a starting point for your thesis. The thesis needs to be a reflection of your practice so it will emerge from the written work you have done already. Therefore, for this seminar please come prepared and gather together all the written work you did last year. Also bring along the research material you have been using, books, articles, pdfs &c. If you have a large bibliography bring along the texts / books you consider most importent.
2: The seminar will be a full day every two weeks.
3: It begins at 10:00 so please be punctual and send apologies if you cannot make it.
4: Each session will begin with each of you giving a progress report and we will commit to achievable aims to be met on that day (for example: to read and take notes on a particular text; or to write an abstract or outline &c.).
5: We will review progress at the end of the session, and again, set realistic goals for work to be undertaken in the meantime.
6: The seminar will comprise individual work, group work and tutorials with me.
