Eassay - most significant element of CTS blog - not the all and end all - biggest task and best chance to gain marks
intellectual and critical standard needs to be raise from last year.
Not a regurgitation of knowledge - analyse - detailed complex arguements.
Compare 4 theorist against each other to make 1 point.
Similar to last year
2000 words (not a lot) 10% leniency (1800-2200 words)
More writers, more analysis
Aim for something, ultra specific - focus - find material to elaborate on
Focus then specify
Your choice of topic to write about - needs to be appropriate
Find a title - take a lecture that you understood (or an aspect) - apply to graphic design.
- take and aspect of your graphic design practice and research into that e'g' info graphics - signage - modernist
e.g. branding - nike sweatshop labour - disguised by the brand.
detailed critical dialogue - not a superficial overview
not conversational - 3rd person, not 1st person - not abotu what you think - make points and defend by backing up with points from theorists and writers.
NO 'I think this...' instead 'This is...' make a statement.
Structure
Intro - statement
Developed main section - needs reference to at least 6 different relevant academic sources
Conclusion - summarise
Bibliography - 12 sources 6 of which have been sighted from - harvard referencing system
Title
Short bullet points on content, plus 6 sources cited from (full harvard referencing system)
Initial bibliography and literature search
Posted to blog by the 19th of December
due in 23/01/2012 Module deadline 26/03/2012
more tasks after the essay - opportunity to revise the essay after tutorials
hand in 1 hard copy 1.5 line spacing for comments and feedback
module outcome is equally weighted.
Find a theory and use it to fight your point and critically evaluate your topic.
