Module overview

The Special Project (Text, Culture, Theory) module will allow you to produce a written assignment or equivalent on a topic of your choice, undertaking independent research with individual guidance from the convenor. The number of supervisions you have will depend on the size of the group you are in. If you are supervised alone or in a group of 2-3 you will normally have up to three supervisions of up to two hours over the course of the semester. Larger groups will have further supervisions, up to a maximum of eight meetings of up to two hours for very large groups.

Meetings will be focused on readings selected in consultation with the convenor.

In consultation with your supervisor, you will be encouraged to identify resources from the undergraduate curriculum which will help you to build your knowledge and understanding. This may be an entire module, individual lectures (recorded or live), or guidance provided on Blackboard from a single module or from a range of modules.
