Class Presentation/Pitch of Major Project Proposal 15%
The 10 minute presentation of your proposal to the class provides a valuable opportunity to road test your ideas and get feedback from your peers. It is required that you put together a presentation that clearly outlines the inspiration, aims and proposed outcomes of your major project. Supporting documentation may take the form of a visual presentation, or you may choose to present physical objects or soundscapes, etc. Discussion of your presentation with the tutor is highly recommended. Note: This exercise will be assessed on your ability to produce a well planned, and professional presentation. Please allow time for questions from
the class after the presentation.
Proposal Document 15%
All students are required to hand in a written proposal document (2 pages) and any supporting material used in the presentation. The proposal will outline what you intend to produce as your major project.
Note: The proposal document must be presented as a hardcopy document. No soft copies documents will be accepted.
The Major Project 40%
The major project may take the form of either a “Research Document” or a “Hands-on Project”. Students selecting the “Research Document” must provide an in-depth analysis of the process and the necessary supporting documentation required for the production of the project.
Students selecting the “Hands-on Project” must complete an operational prototype and a 2 page document (approx 500 words) providing a detailed overview, or walkthrough the project.
Electronic Blog 10%
Submit your best 5 entries from your blog. The blog is intended to promote research and critique skills. Students are encouraged to document works and experiences relevant to the
