LARS
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.
