This report requires the student to reflect upon the aims and outcomes of the Thesis Design Project, and to communicate this to others (internal juries and external examiners) by means of an illustrated piece of writing. The report should include the following: Reports should be compiled in a way that allows external examiners to easily understand the relationship between your visual material and the text. Your project report is a very important part of your overall final submission. It is a means for you to reflect upon your project and to communicate it as an illustrated piece of writing to others. Thi s will be your first introduction to your external examiner. Take care over the report and use its preparation as a way of checking that you have covered the crucial areas in your thesis design. You are strongly advised to make use of the School dissertation preparation handbook as a method for ensuring grammar, written style, use of references are appropriate. As with the dissertation, please make sure that you check it carefully for typographic and spelling errors before submitting. The report should be submitted digitally via VITAL. A4 portrait is the normal size and format of the document and any other should only be considered if there are exceptional circumstances (and be agreed with your tutor in advance). One paper copy should also form part of your Thesis Design Submission. |
