CONTEXTUAL STUDIES ASSIGNMENT FOUR: REFLECTIONS ON LEARNING OUTCOMES

LO1 undertaken research and study demonstrating comprehensive knowledge of your area of specialisation and built a theoretical framework for your creative practice.

Q: Have I researched and studied my specialisation and demonstrated a comprehensive knowledge?

I have evidenced a wide and deep range of reading in my remaining chapter drafts.

Q: Have I built a theoretical framework for my creative practice?

I have advanced from the literature review and assignment 3 (Introduction and 1st chapter) to interrogating and interrelating academic arguments and evidencing against them, from more simply sharing them.

LO2 synthesised and articulated your critical, contextual and conceptual knowledge and understanding into a coherent critique of advanced academic standard.

Q: Have I pulled together research and written using evidence?

This is evidenced in my remaining chapters and I have used PEEL (Point, Example, Explain, Link) to do so as suggested by my Tutor in the last feedback.

Q: Have I referred to my BOW contextualising practise and theory?

I haven’t directly referred as I don’t believe this is necessary, however my BOW practice directly relates to my essay topic, stimulates my CS research and broadens my understanding. I have included artist’s images and articulated using visual methodologies described in Chapter one how White expresses himself and what is connotated.

Q: Have I evidenced in writing my concept thoroughly and how broader concepts have fed into this?

Broad concepts run throughout these chapters as they do in my introduction and Chapter 1 previously submitted. I have reviewed my work as a whole to ensure that these concepts are consistently referred to throughout the work. It is to the required academic standard.

LO3 applied your own criteria of judgement, reviewed, criticised and taken responsibility for your own work with minimum guidance.

Q: Have I reviewed, judged, and critiqued myself? I have reflected as I have worked and have done so here also.

LO4 selected and applied information management skills and used appropriate technology in the production of an accomplished critique with minimal supervision.

Q: Have I used information management skills and technology?

I have used some online sources and referencing mechanisms as well as reference data bases such as paperpile. I have used IT skills to present my work.

Q: Have I produced a good critique myself?  This technical aspect has achieved independently.
