| Summary | As a development from directed study students in this course should demonstrate an ability to operate on a more autonomous basis, through selective appraisal of environmental contexts and lines of critical inquiry aligned with professional practice. This process is supported by staff who will guide students through the stages of professional activity, such as network building, funding applications and project delivery. This allows students to develop the organisational skills required to operate in the creative sector. It is expected that students place particular demands on themselves, to extend their experience and aspirations to develop individualised creative practice.
Aims:
To develop individual practice and professional, technical and organisational skills;
To promote a professional approach to manage, structure and resolve an innovative contribution;
Enable students to propose, justify and undertake an advanced personal project with clearly defined critical aims, objectives and methods.
Mode of delivery:
Individual mentoring, installation, project review, exhibition

| Feedback |
Feedback for this course will be provided from tutors in verbal (formative) and written (summative) forms at key points, notably ongoing studio tutorials, mid semester reviews and end of semester assessment. This is aligned with the Universities common feedback structures, including:
Formative Assessment is designed to provide you with feedback on your progress and inform development, but does not contribute to your final grade. Formative assessment allows your tutors to give you feedback prior to undertaking a piece of (summatively) assessed work. Formative assessment aids understanding and development of your knowledge and skills and is intended to promote further improvement in your level of attainment. Some courses have formatively assessed assignments but not all courses have this.
Summative assessment is the process of evaluating (and marking) your work at a point in time. You will receive a grade for each course relative to the programme assessment criteria and individual course objectives. Marks are confirmed by at the end of year Examination Board and are combined to produce a single, numerical mark.
Refer to the ASN Programme Handbook for details of the Common Marking Scheme and grade descriptors.
