Content
This unit will support you to develop your critical writing through an investigation of critical writing processes, functions and techniques. The skills and theories learned through this unit will support you to write your Honours dissertation, which will be an exegesis or thesis depending on your research practice. Through contextual study, exemplars of critical writing and hands-on writing activities, you will develop your capacity to unite theory, context and analysis within an exegetical or theoretical account of critical scholarship and/or creative practice. Assessment tasks within this unit will assist you to build your planning, discursive and expressive skills as a critical scholar. Your dissertation will sit alongside the creative/critical work undertaken across supervision units throughout your Honours study.
