• Creative work research statement: A short research statement about your proposed work, including Research Background, Research Contribution, Research Significance.
• Literature review: Choose a minimum of 10 references on your topic. These should be scholarly and research-based publications, and significant to your topic. You can focus on one area of your topic for this task, rather than your entire thesis project. Your review of chosen literature will demonstrate your understanding of your field, evaluate literature up to the current day, identify the similarities or differences in previous research and provide a context for your own research topic.
• Poster presentation: A poster presentation is a way of presenting information on your project in a concise and visual way. In this case, it is the same as writing a short summary of your project, but here, you also have to condense the information so your audience can read it quickly and understand the information you are trying to communicate.
• Research proposal / Funding proposal: Research proposals are needed when you propose a thesis topic for research funding, higher degrees or future work. A proposal should both (a) present a project plan and (b) demonstrate to a reader the viability of the project. To satisfy both points, the plan needs to show that you know the field and the relevant literature – you should demonstrate bibliographic searching, reading, and your own critical assessment of what you have read.

Detailed information for each assessment can be found on Canvas.
