Mid+Point+Review+online


 * Mid Point Review **

MA Visual Arts (Digital Arts) online year 1 students

Tuesday 24 May 13.30 - 15.30 - online

The Mid Point Review is a chance to reflect upon for your professional practice and learning development so far in Unit 1. This is one part of the assessment for Unit 1 and you are assessed on your presentation AND your contribution to the discussion.

4 things will happen:

1. You need to ‘curate’ your work and research. Select a piece of work and/or research that is part of your project proposal (in development or completed) and prepare a 5 minute presentation about this. The best way to do this is the create a video showing your work and with a voice over of you talking about it. If you prefer you can also write your presentation and add lots of pictures or video of your work in one blog post but it must take no longer than 5 minutes to read. Five minutes is not long so please prepare carefully.

2. Make sure this is all uploaded to your blog by 22.00 (UK time) Friday 20 May - then watch or read everyone's presentations before Tuesday 24 May. Prepare comments and suggestions for each student.

3. For 12 minutes there will be a student-led group discussion about your work. (When it is the discussion about someone else's work you will take part in the discussion about their work, you are assessed on how much you contribute to this discussion so please prepare carefully.)

4. While the group is discussing your work, you will NOT be allowed to type/speak, you can only listen, even if they don’t understand your work. Obviously you take note of what people are saying and you can respond later on your blog.

Preparation

2 things you should do to prepare:

1. Prepare your 5 minute presentation - this must be posted on your blog by 22.00 (UK time) Friday 20 May

consider these 2 points when writing or making your video:

• Evaluation of my project proposal as a part of a self directed programme of study (here you raise questions or issues that you would like people to discuss)

• Where I need to develop study plans in relation to the Unit 1 Learning Outcomes

Unit 1 Learning Outcomes (page 43 of the handbook): • Develop your Project Proposal to plan a challenging and self-directed programme of study • Demonstrate a critical engagement with practice-based research and contribute actively to debate and discussion • Articulate a clear understanding of the methodology and context of your creative practice in both written and verbal forms

2. watch or read all the other presentations so you are ready to take part in the discussion during the MPR on Tuesday 24 May.
