Each student will meet with a Readings Director who will work with the student to identify areas, related to their proposed thesis, in which they most stand in need of research training, and will develop for them a program of directed reading to address these needs. The student will be in regular contact by way of face-to-face meetings and e-mail with a Readings Director to discuss issues which emerge from this work, and to be set additional reading. Assessment undertaken for this course may be made use of (recycled) in the thesis.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- demonstrate a deeper understanding of one or more methodological issues or areas of disciplinary knowledge relevant to the thesis, and
- communicate that understanding persuasively in writing.
Indicative Assessment
- 1,000 word outline or draft of paper (10) [LO 1,2]
- 4,000 word paper (90) [LO 1,2]
- An examiner (other than the Readings Director overseeing the paper or the Thesis Supervisor) will be appointed; he or she will be responsible for marking both pieces of work, and for providing written feedback and a rationale for the mark. The Readings Director will provide written feedback, and a qualitative assessment of the work. The mark itself will be awarded by the School of Philosophy Honours 4 Committee, who may play a role in the moderation of the mark, or may if they so decide appoint another examiner. (null) [LO null]
