task

- Media object to be submitted/presented with promotional material - title, still, one-line synopsis, framing statement (250 words), full credits and attributions
- projects to be legal - as in copyright neutral - also, no snuff movies
why?

- Interim (non-assessed) due dates – Seminar Wk7 present research project pitch at symposium, Tutorial Wk10 present rough-cuts, Tutorial Wk11 present fine-cuts
worth how much?
25% of overall
how assessed?
tutor assessed, with group moderation of individual contributions
task details
assessment criteria details
Your tutor will assess your overall project and give a base mark for the group overall. Individual marks for each student will then be moderated according to their contribution, as determined by the group.
Research projects receiving the highest marks from your tutor will
- be an interesting, thought provoking and well considered exploration and representation of the theme 'evolution'
- engage and intersect with the issues and themes of convergence culture and the digital media culture - in innovative and sophisticated ways
- demonstrate professional presentation and timely submission of all required delivery materials
- be of a technical standard appropriate for final year media students
Moderated individual assessment
This works as follows:
in week 7 each project group will discuss and agree upon criteria to evaluate individual contributions to the project
in week 12 tutorials, after the project has been submitted, groups will self-assess individual contributions according to the agreed criteria, and decide upon the weighting to the overall mark for each student, with plus or minus scores which must add up to zero for the group overall
Confused?! Let me explain with an example:
Group A decides that Student A deserves (+ 10), and Student B and Student C each deserve (-5), as weightings for their individual contributions. These weightings must add up to zero: (10 + (-5) + (-5) = 0)
So, if your tutor gives Group A’s project a group mark of 70: then, the final marks for this assignment will be: Student A: 80 (the original 70 plus the weighting of 10), Student B: 65 (the original 70 minus the weighting of 5), Student B: 65 (the original 70 minus the weighting of 5)
Or, if your tutor gives a group project mark of 85; then, the final marks for the assignment will be: Student A: 95 (the original 85 plus the weighting of 10), Student B: 80 (the original 85 minus the weighting of 5), Student B: 80 (the original 85 minus the weighting of 5)
Group B might decide their weightings should be equal: Student D = (0), Student E = (0), Student F = (0), Each group member will receive whatever mark the tutor gives their group overall.
