Course summary

The project can be a design, performance, report, dissertation or artefact but it is the process that will be assessed rather than the outcome itself. Students will be assigned a member of staff to act as a mentor. Students will be taught a variety of skills including project and time management, referencing, plagiarism avoidance, action plans and how to research topics. The Project is the process learners go through to produce an outcome. The Extended Project is the only course where every decision is made by the student; from choosing a topic to evaluating their presentation and everything in between!
