CTF635 : Directed studies / College of Creative Arts

This course exposes undergraduate students to self-directed learning through which they prepare their final year research project (in the form of dissertation or production/creative project). Students choose any topics of their interest so as to conduct a small enquiry or mini investigation that makes an original, intellectual or creative contribution to the field. The course covers the step-by-step approaches to dissertation writing from presenting arguments to conducting research. Its general aim is to expand the student’s intellectual faculties and capability for learning and problem solving. The course also provides students with the opportunity to design their own study plan. At the early stage of the course, students are required to write a detailed proposal and upon approval, they are to proceed with the researching and writing stages.
