Aims
The first stage - to undertake an extensive piece of applied research with guidance from a selected tutor on a topic either directly or indirectly related to the subject of Architecture. To develop a programme of research and activity using both primary and secondary material - whilst sourcing appropriate information from many and varied sources.
The second stage is to prepare sufficient material to allow a tutor and a Study Panel to understand the focus and intent of the study - with reference to research methods and outcomes.
The final stage is to undertake the writing of the 'Specialist Study' which involves the preparation and development of the final assessed piece of the work. This is usually in an illustrated, written and bound form (two hard copies) - with one digital copy being deposited on Canvas.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Investigate an architectural subject using a mix of sources (both primary and secondary) in order to develop an intelligent and correctly constructed dissertation.
2.
Evaluate and present the results of their research to both peers and assessors in an appropriate and organised way.
3.
Submit a substantial piece of referenced specialist research (using standard conventions) that have been agreed with both tutor and panel members.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:This module will take place in the Second Semester and will give the student the opportunity to work independently on a research area of their choice. It will develop skills which will be useful in career development and progression. The initial subject and tutor selection will take place in Semester One and this will be developed in Module 7511ARSRI. This will give students sufficient time to establish initial plans of research and consider their topic in the wider context. The topic selection will be tutor led but students will have the opportunity to select a topic of their own choice under negotiation. The writing process will be guided by a series of seminars and essentially the outcome will be an academic dissertation.
Additional Information:The tutor-driven list of topics will be published in the early part of Semester One - as part of module 7511ARSRI. Final choices, including those proposed by students and accepted by the Module Component Leader as being suitable will be determined on a student-by-student basis during the middle of Semester One.
The Review Panel will work closely with each student to co-ordinate progress, but students should not allow a contradiction to emerge between the advice of their tutor and the advice of the Panel. The tutor's advice should take precedence and tutors will therefore attend the appropriate panel alongside those tutors who will second mark the work.
