The CS831 Dissertation Seminar is compulsory for ISC students who have chosen to do a final year BA dissertation. This seminar provides a forum for students to discuss their research, present their main findings, and give and receive feedback on their work. The module is mainly organised on a workshop basis, but the module tutor will also give short informal lectures on a range of issues related to data collection and analysis, writing and composition, and structuring an argument.
The seminar runs over the autumn and spring terms. The three autumn term sessions are designed to ensure that everyone is well prepared to complete data collection by the start of the spring term. The spring term sessions are dedicated to students' work in progress. Before reading week, everyone will give an oral presentation of their main research findings; after reading week, everyone prepares a draft chapter for discussion by the group. We will agree the schedule in the first session. You will learn a lot from issues arising in other students' projects, so attendance and active participation at all sessions are very important.
Pre-Requisites for doing the dissertation (for details and guidance see Dissertation Handbook)
All students must obtain approval for doing a dissertation from the module supervisor.
To obtain approval, students must submit a dissertation research proposal and if necessary revise the proposal according to feedback.
Deadline for submitting proposal for approval: 10am Friday October 4th 2019 (Week 1).
Students will receive feedback on their proposals early in Week 2; you will then have until Monday of Week 3 to revise the proposal.
Any student who has not submitted a satisfactory proposal by this point will be required to change to one of the other ISC capstone options: either CS300 Community Engagement Group Projects or CS301 The Essay and Manifesto as Social Criticism.
This module is organised on a workshop basis. The two-hour sessions will combine short presentations by the Course Tutor on key issues relating to data processing and writing, but most sessions are dedicated to student research presentations and discussions of draft chapters. The exact number of Spring term sessions will depend on the number of students who enrol. The final schedule for presentations and draft chapters will be announced in the first session of the Spring term. Students are required to attend all sessions. Students will find that they learn a lot from discussions of other students' projects, so attendance and active participation is very important.
