Preparation

Be prepared to give an account of where you are at with your self-directed research and talk about what you want to achieve this year.

Think concretely about what you want to make, how you are going to make it and why you are going to make it.

Be prepared to discuss your plans for a thesis and what you need to do to achieve it.


Plan for the day:

1) Split into two groups (Steve and Marloes will chair a group each)

2) We will discuss your plans.

What possibilities are open to you?

What material from the 'text on method' you wrote last trimester is useful for the proposal?

What material have you written (descriptions of work , assignments for last year's methods class &c) which you can use?

3) Write draft proposal

4) Whilst you work on 3), Steve & Marloes will give individual tutorials to discuss what each student is planning and how best to convey their plan in writing.

Outcome: a draft project proposal

5) Near the end of the day, Steve will give an introduction to the thesis writing process and we will discuss the thesis as a group. For an assignment, you will make a draft outline ahead of the next session including a bibliography of no more than 5 key texts. In the next session we will discuss your outline. (what are you going to write? about and what material do you have to hand and how to organise time &c).
