Further details relating to assessment
The report will be comprised of a discourse analysis on one of the topics covered in the module or on a student selected topic agreed upon with the module tutor. Students will source material from the media/popular culture, on which they will conduct a discourse analysis. This assessment will be supported by weekly formative feedback in taught sessions, where students will work on examples in groups on analysing content in the public domain. The form this assessment will take will be agreed upon by the individual student and the tutor. Examples of assessment forms may include a written report, a poster presentation, an oral presentation with or without visual aids, a spoken word piece, a visual art project or a video explainer. All assessments, regardless of form of presentation must present their worked example of discourse analysis as evidence for their analytic audit trail. The audit trail does not form part of the word count, but does form part of the assessment criteria.
