Throughout the project, you will be expected to draw from the skills you have learnt during the first and second year of study on the course and build on them in a new direction. Through teacher-led workshops, individual research and self-directed group/solo tasks, you will work with your tutor and peers to practically explore methods of score-making to create experimental and innovative performance based responses to tasks. The practical explorations will be used as experiential research for the assessment.

You should write an individual reflective essay of 2000-2500 words in length, which responds to the following title:

 

With reference to practical exploration and relevant academic literature, critically discuss  three significant ways of working with scores in online performance making scenarios.   

This essay encourages you to critically reflect upon and contextualise your own practice, drawing upon key principles and new knowledge gained through engagement in this module. 

 

 

Your reflection should be written in accordance with the presentation of written work guidelines provided in the Programme Handbook. Further support for written work is available through the Centre for Learning and Study Support (CLaSS). Their details are provided in the Programme Handbook 

 

It is a policy of De Montfort University to make assessed work available for you to collect within twenty working days of the submission/deadline date. Staff will endeavour to achieve this. Should staff be unable to make assessed work available for you to collect within four teaching weeks then you will be advised of an approximate timescale for this to happen. However, feedback for The Reflection should be available to access at the latest 19/04/21 (week 29).

 

·  Aim for 100% attendance and punctuality. 

·  Be pro-active - If you cannot attend on a given day or know in advance you have to miss a session then you must contact staff immediately via email and phone numbers provided in handbooks.

·  4 unauthorized* absences = an alternative role with in the performance. This still entails full attendance in order to attain a pass grade.

·  4 x late* = 1 absence. = as above 

·  Continued unauthorized absences and lates – If the pattern persists you will be warned that your attendance and punctuality problems are jeopardizing the potential to pass the assessment. Sustained poor attendance and punctuality is likely to lead to failure.

 

*Unauthorized absence – when the student fails to inform staff prior to (or within 24 hrs. if unavoidable) of the session why there was an absence, (medical proof will be necessary in certain circumstances for it to be classed as authorized). 

*Late – you will be deemed to be late to a session after 10 minutes have elapsed from the start of the class (on the hour) and you arrive thereafter with no authorized reason to be late. Leaving a class early with no authorized explanation will also be deemed equivalent to a Late.

 

 

Sustained authorized absence - If for some unexpected but justifiable reason, you are having difficulty attending (e.g. long term mental or physical health condition or family issue) please come and discuss this with us ASAP. It may mean that you are better off on the individual assessment pathway for the time being as it allows you more flexibility and less stress.

 

If unauthorized absences or lates occur very close to the performance date, it may not be possible to implement the procedures outlined above, but students must note that such action will impact significantly on their assessment grading and for any fellow student this behaviour impacts upon this will be taken into account with their grading.

You can still contact your personal tutor you would like to have a chat about whatever you are going through. 

You might have a health issue or you may be facing discrimination of some kind, or experiencing problems with your funding or struggling with your studies. The microsites will signpost you to where you can get support or provide advice on what to do or how to manage the problem. 

Become familiar with the microsites. Please browse through them now and become familiar with them. Below are links to three of important ones:
