THE BRIEF

Professional Scenario/Rationale:

This module enables students to create a portfolio of professional, specialist work demonstrating transferable skills to meet sector expectations. In addition, it requires students to undertake research and self-evaluation relative to desired roles within industry as part of a CPD (Continuous Professional Development) plan.

Students will apply sector speci?c creative and technical skills in different industry contexts.

The portfolio should include:

The ffinal outcome of the project: 60%
- The ?nal output will be one of the following dependent on specialism:
  - 6 - 9 minutes of media
  - 6 - 9 minute
  - 6 pages of non-text based coursework
- Critical Evaluation: 20% (max 1200 words)
- Evaluation of skills and CPD Plan: 20% (6 pages)

Final Project Outcome:

Your ?nal product (project output) will consist of 6 - 9 minutes of media, a 6 - 9 minute performance/presentation or 6 pages of non-text based coursework (such as project documents, design documents or other output relevant to your project). This will depend on your project and is stipulated in the associated brief documents.

Your practical project will allow you to review and develop your abilities, not only in your specialist areas, but also in relation to transferable skills sets such as collaborative project management and personal development planning.

You will be required to work collaboratively with other stakeholders to undertake the project, however you will be assessed and graded individually.

Critical Evaluation:

(Max 1200 words)

Your Critical Evaluation should re?ect on your project and must include the following:

Supported sector speci?c research relative to your discipline and project, and discussion of how it has informed the decisions taken within the project.

Discussion of challenges faced/encountered and any creative solutions employed to resolve them

Discussion of project collaborators/stakeholders:
- List of collaborators/stakeholders (this may be one person, one band, or more depending on the project)
- Roles within the project
- Evidence of communication and discussion of its effectiveness
Discussion of personal limitations (self awareness) in respect of the project and how engaging with other stakeholders/collaborators helped to address these and contribute towards the completion of the project.

CPD plan:

(6 pages)

Following the template available here, you are required to complete a CPD (Continuous Personal Development) plan that:

Evaluates your own skills in relation to those required for a speci?c industry role relevant to your specialism/project.

Includes steps for personal development in relation to your skills evaluation and the chosen

The CPD plan should be relative to a role you have researched in line with your route specialism (Arts/Science based practice). You will be required to reference this CPD plan in one of your Level 6 modules.

All research, ideas or concepts created by third parties, including AI, must be correctly referenced using the Harvard Referencing system. This must include both a reference list and in-text citations - Guidance on Harvard Referencing, as well as other research and study guidance/tools can be found in the Canvas Library and Learning Resources module available here.

ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE

AI - ACM embraces the idea that ethical use of AI tools can support deeper learning and help students with aspects of academia that they can sometimes ?nd challenging. However, students must not over-rely on AI tools to the extent where academic integrity is You are strongly advised to keep drafts of your work in case there are any suspicions of academic misconduct due to unethical use of such tools. In this scenario you will be asked for these as part of the Academic Misconduct Investigation

Written work, where relevant, should be presented using Arial Font, size 12, with 5 line spacing.

Written work, such as critical evaluations, submitted via Google Drive will not be These must be submitted via the correct portal as a PDF upload

PDFs submitted with links to external written formats (such as Google Doc) will not be

It is permissible within a submission to reference work you have previously presented for assessment, such as research ?ndings or other However, this must be properly referenced in the same way as other external sources. Not referencing your own work may constitute academic misconduct (self-plagiarism). You are strongly advised not to quote your own written work as doing so runs the risk of displaying an over-reliance on such work.

MIDDLESEX UNIVERSITY: GENERIC DEGREE MARKING RUBRIC

Class

GUIDE DESCRIPTORS

Class 1

70-100

Excellent. Wholly successful work in almost every respect.

In all modules this is reserved for work that is memorable for its excellence. Grade 1 work is outstanding (virtually faultless).

Class 2 Div.1

60-69

Very good standard. An adventurous approach that the student can support with strong technique and/or appropriate subject knowledge. Performance work reveals only occasional minor errors. The performer and composer demonstrate a reasonably mature level of comprehension on appropriate stylistic interpretation. Composition shows a skilled and imaginative approach and is contextualised intelligently and successfully within the brief. Written work is presented to a fairly high standard and all argument and discourse within written work reveal reasonably comprehensive background reading, and intelligent thought leading to illuminating work. Written examination reveals no signi?cant gaps in key knowledge requirements.

Class 2 Div. 2

50-59

Reasonably good standard. Imaginative response with a good grasp of the crucial aspects involved. Occasional errors of judgement.

Practical work is executed to a more than satisfactory standard with a good level of technical pro?ciency. Errors, though present, are fairly infrequent and minor, and the performer demonstrates some sensitivity to the appropriate performance aspects of a given piece. Written and project work is generally solid and reveals an intelligent and perceptive approach. There are no serious omissions, and reasonably effective use of language enhances the work. Written examination reveals occasional gaps in key knowledge requirements, but a sound understanding of most main principles.

Class 3 (Pass)

40-49

Acceptable standard. Appropriate response to assignment with a fair grasp of the crucial aspects involved. Some errors of judgement.

Performance demonstrates a workmanlike approach achieving a safe but not necessarily inspired result. Inaccuracies and mistakes are present but the performer recovers from these with minimal disruption to the performance piece. The performer or composer may not necessarily demonstrate a mature awareness or sensitivity to the requirements of the style of the piece. Written and project work follows most details listed on the brief, and omissions - although present - are not serious. Presentation and use of English are of an acceptable standard. Answers are coherent and informative, with some omissions of the central material. Written examination reveals gaps in the knowledge

		requirements, but a satisfactory understanding of most key principles. Grade 16 (40%) work is only just worthy of a pass and contains a few serious ?aws.
Fail (Compensated)	35-39	Not quite of satisfactory standard. Terms of the brief are partly ful?lled but shortcomings are suf?ciently serious to prevent the pass mark from being reached. In practical work errors and miscalculations are exposed with a fair degree of frequency. The errors mentioned in the next lowest category (Grade 18) are still in evidence but occur with less frequency, but are still signi?cant enough to prevent the attainment of a pass grade. Written work demonstrates a partially successful attempt to ful?l the brief with several omissions. Written work may be poorly presented with inaccurate or inappropriate use of English and/or illogical essay structure. Written examination reveals signi?cant gaps in key knowledge requirements.
Fail (Compensated)	30-34	Inadequate response to brief. Many errors and weaknesses. Practical work highlights one or more of the following: serious technical de?ciency, serious and fundamental lack of understanding of solo/ensemble performance responsibilities. Composition and project work highlights one or more of the following: inappropriate response to brief, incomplete work, lack of appropriate preparation, poor presentation and/or use of English, essay structure illogical. Written examination highlights a serious lack of appropriate knowledge requirements.
Fail	129	Completely inadequate response to assignment. Does not ful?l the brief. Work highlights serious technical de?ciencies. Practical work is inadequate and full of mistakes and inaccuracies. Serious and fundamental misunderstandings of the music or project aims are revealed. Appropriate preparation is entirely lacking. Use of English is very poor. Essay structure wholly illogical. Brief may have been ignored or almost wholly misunderstood.
Fail	0	Incomplete or no work submitted.
