Critical Investigation: learner response

The in-class peer assessment tasks are invaluable in identifying key aspects to improve for your next draft of the Critical Investigation. 

You need to complete an initial learner response task to make sure you have read, recorded and understood your feedback.

Critical Investigation: first draft learner response

On your MEST4 coursework blog, complete the following tasks:

• Type up your teacher comments from your first draft - these are your main targets that you must address.

• Write what level/mark/grade you are aiming for in your second draft.

• Write a numbered action plan of at least five things - ideally one for each of the eight EBIs you received in feedback in your Peer Assessment lessons - that you will do or change for your second draft that will help you get there. Be specific and explain in detail.

Here is the peer assessment lessons PowerPoint to help you check you've covered everything...

Critical Investigation: next deadline

Write the second draft of your Critical Investigation.

This includes any additional research that may be required - a lack of high-quality academic research and a low number of footnotes is the number one reason students miss out on their target grade in this task.

***MAKE SURE YOU VISIT THE BFI LIBRARY AGAIN DURING HALF TERM***

Due: Tuesday 21 February

Please make sure that you have posted an electronic version on your blog and you bring a hard copy (with 1.5 spacing) into the lesson.

This second draft will receive feedback in the form of an extended one-to-one tutorial in class before Easter. You will then have a short time to make any remaining improvements before the final deadline.
