MODULE : ARTD 6113 Professional and Academic Skills (PAS1)

Assessment type and method

This module is based on the understanding that research is increasingly interdisciplinary, global and is conducted through a range of technologies and methods. The module will introduce you to the principles and role of research in the context of creative and cultural industries as well as provide grounding for further postgraduate study.

We encourage independent thinking to develop your own ideas and to utilise the resource avail ble to you. It is always a good idea to discuss these ideas with your tutor and your peer group to test and be critiqued on their developments.

Assessment in this module is by a summative method supported by formative feedback through hout activities in class and checkpoints. Details of what this work is, when it is to be handed in and its contribution to your final mark are detailed below. Full briefs will be discussed during the lectures and uploaded on blackboard.

Assignment Requirements 

This assignment aims to raise your awareness of how to locate and interrogate sources and re evant research literature critically and develop relevant and concise research questions. It aims to build your critical thinking through an analysis of the literature, theory and contemporary practices in Design Management.

For this assignment you should submit a 3000-word portfolio, consisting of:

· Annotated bibliography (1,200 words)

· Literature review (1,000 words)

· Reflective Commentary on Personal Development (800 words)

The portfolio should contain a collection of thinking processes and critical insights from your rview of the literature and practices in Design Management. It should also contain images, figures and/or tables, and other visual or interactive resources that might be relevant to communicate your ideas. These should be used to help you portray and support your arguments.

Current Thinking

Choose an area within Design Management field that reflects a current phenomenon/issue or debate  – it must be relevant to your Design Management pathway. For that, you will need to go through a range of secondary sources including academic journals, books and non-academic sources such as newspapers, magazines and market intelligence (these are suggested in your module handbook), to understand the contemporary issues involved in Design Management.

You will go to develop a detailed critique of that debate utilising a number of research techniques to demonstrate integrity and validity in a research area of your choice. This you will reflect on in relation to your own professional development
