Course summary

This course is divided into two elements: the taught component and the independent study component. There are 3 pieces to be submitted: a log book, your project and a presentation.

The product will be either a 5 000 word essay or a product (artefact, art work, film, animation, web site, performance, exhibition etc) plus a 1 000 word report. The presentation is designed to explain your findings to a non-specialist audience. WHAT UNITS/TOPICS WILL BE STUDIED?
