Description
This module provides students with the opportunity to pursue self-initiated, independent and in-depth research on their chosen topic. The Dissertation demonstrates a student’s ability to produce a substantial piece of written work, and enhances the skills required to do this: analysis and synthesis, clarity of thought, concision, organization and project management. The topic of the research project must fall within the discipline range of Comparative Literature. It may relate to the subject area of a module already taken but it must not replicate argument already done on a particular course.
The project takes the shape of independent research under the guidance of a supervisor. It is expected that the student and supervisor will have approximately three hours of contact over the course of the academic year either virtually (e.g. synchronously via Skype or asynchronously via email) or face-to-face to discuss the progress of the work.
