Self-Study Project
Choose a subject from one of the three main areas discussed during the main part of the course: architecture; philosophy & criticism; or folklore and myth. Write a research report of 750-1,000 words plus appropriate supporting material on a specific topic chosen from within that particular category.
This project is worth 40 points in total, making it 40% of the overall grade for the course. The grading criteria are as follows:
• Marks out of 15 for originality.
• Marks out of 15 for quality of research.
• Marks out of 10 for presentation and quality of argument and discussion
You will score more marks out of 15 for writing in your own words than for simply copying and pasting from the internet or other sources. You will, however, be given credit out of 15 for the research materials you are able to source, so long as you attribute them correctly. Provide URLs or publication details of useful texts. Depending on the individual project, these could include audio or video and other visual information. The final 10 marks are not for quality of writing in English, but for the organization and clarity of your academic writing and the construction of your argument.
