We want you to be very clear about how we will mark your work and that means you must know with each assessment what you are expected to do. We hope that this does not mean you will feel that you have to write to a formula. We are trying to build in considerable freedom to your assessments; but as the term ‘liberal arts’ conveys, in every freedom there is a discipline, and in every discipline there is a freedom; together, we hope, they constitute the struggle of learning. There are (often but not always) two types of essays in MLA: the first assessment title in a module will most often be set by the tutor and will be restricted to texts explored in the first weeks. The second assessment title can be tutor-led, or chosen from a list of titles, or can be negotiated individually; this varies according to the tutor and the module. This assignment can explore wider issues, employ wider reading, or explore a single issue in depth. Students will bear some responsibility for the references consulted in the second essay, increasing through years 1, 2 and 3.
Note the difference between essays 1 and 2: the first one is marked only on your understanding of texts; the second one is marked on understanding, on your own reading, and your emerging critical voice. Be careful here; being critical does not mean just giving your opinions. It means making a case based on evidence from your reading, using ideas and concepts from texts. It does not mean you have to fight for one side of an argument or another… ambivalence will be treated with great respect. But for every essay, remember this: if we (and you) get the title right, then by answering the question you will be doing exactly what is required. Over years 1, 2 and 3 the levels of your work are raised by using increasingly challenging texts, ideas, concepts and writers, and by the way you are able to employ ideas, concepts and writers from other modules across the degree in increasingly sophisticated ways. For all essays, then Depending on the question you will need to
For essay 1 Depending on the question you will need to
For essay 2 Depending on the question you will need to
It is often hard to explain in generic terms how any particular essay could have been improved. But, cautiously, we can say the following: In general, a 3rd (40-49%) may have ignored the question, may have not given much evidence of reading, may have clumsy sentence structure, but will still have made a bona fide attempt at the work. a 2.2 (50-59%) will have provided evidence of reading, quotations where appropriate, clear sentence structure, attended to the question or title, but not related the material in ways which synthesise more developed and complex thinking. a 2.1 (60-69%) will have evidence of reading through effective selection of quotation, being able to make specific points, and to relate material together to make broader and/or deeper and more complex observations. At the higher end, it may have been able to relate material from across modules, or across the degree as a whole, to synthesise separate ideas and issues into more holistic comments, ideas and problems. The questions addressed will be getting ever more difficult and important, including those that are asked without being answered. a 1st (70-100%) will make a little go a long way. Quotations may carry implications beyond their precise content; sentences will be clear but able to refine complex ideas succinctly; most importantly, it will be able to combine the microcosm of its subject matter with the macrocosm of its place in the wider context, and these contexts will be drawn form the overall, experience of the degree, growing obviously from years 1 to 3. No inaccuracies of grammar or sentence construction, and no referencing mistakes are expected here. The voice of the essay will be in control of difficult material throughout. Above all the questions asked and addressed will be compelling in their difficulty and import. Module Evaluations (previous year) Module evaluations commented on a well-designed module, with good teaching, good support, and challenging but enjoyable material. One response commented that some students tended to dominate discussions. This is an issue that we have taken up as a team of tutors, commented on in our Self-Evaluation Document for the revalidation next year, and we have set in place some strategies by which to address this. This is a module where change and flexibility are built-in, able to respond in the second half of the module to student interests, meaning that some material is chosen by the students over that from previous years. This is again proved an interesting and motivating strategy, and is one we intend to continue in the following year. Catalogue summary This is the first of two compulsory modules in Modern Liberal Arts at level 5. This module allows students considerable scope in the direction of their work. Each week introduces a new set of issues within which to discuss ideas surrounding freedom. Indicative content here includes assessing freedom within the perspectives of cosmopolitanism, feminism, colonialism, Islamic philosophy, Orientalism, slavery, Holocaust, and existentialism. It is intended that Hegel’s analysis of the master/slave relationship in the Phenomenology of Spirit will form the starting point for discussions. Yüklə 230,73 Kb. Dostları ilə paylaş:
