Word Length: 2,000 words Briefing for Coursework Two: This assessment requires you to choose and write a critical essay on ONE of the following six topics: i) Author Nelson George (2004: xiv) has argued that “you can tell where black people are at any given point in history by our music.” critically evaluate this assertion by focusing on any twentieth century and/or twenty-first century black American or black British music. ii) “Music can serve as useful primary source material to understand the character and identity of places” (Kong, 1995: 184). Critique this statement by analysing the relationship between music and a specific city or region, giving due consideration to the authorship, performance and reception of the music you choose to focus on. iii) Technology has repeatedly transformed the content produced by the mass media and music industries. such transformations have, in turn, frequently re-shaped the structures/processes/priorities of both those industries and of society more broadly. Discuss how this has occurred by focusing on one technology of your choice, one that is associated with the mass media or music industries. iv) To what extent has cinema both reflected AND shaped attitudes towards gender OR sexuality in society? Choose no more than two case-study films to base your essay around. v) Examine a specific genre or musician(s) of your choice to critically assess how music has been used to challenge and/or subvert patriarchy in society. vi) Music, film and TV have long provided key platforms for confronting social injustices. Critique this statement by choosing ONE social injustice theme (e.g. relating to societal attitudes towards sexuality, class, disability, mental illness etc.) and examine how your ONE chosen social justice has been addressed/ confronted in the work of EITHER a particular musician, OR in the content of a particular film or TV show (i.e. essay should be focussed on only one of: music or film or TV). The essay should contain at least 10 references. These references should overwhelming be from academic journal articles or from academic books. The remainder should be from factual sources, such as from respected mass media and/or music magazines or other outlets, or from quality newspapers – such as The Guardian or The Times – or from industry reports, or government and/or protest group policy documents. The criteria on which the essay will be marked is as follows: 1. RESEARCH Systematic identification and use of academic and relevant resources 2. SUBJECT KNOWLEDGE Understanding and application of subject knowledge. Contribution to subject debate 3. CRITICAL ANALYSIS Analysis and interpretation of sources, literature and/or results. Structuring of issues/debates 4. COMMUNICATION AND PRESENTATION Clear intention in communication. The needs of the person reading the essay are predicted and met. Presentation format is used skilfully. Work is well structured. 5. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY Acknowledges and gives credit to the work of others; follows the conventions and practices of the discipline including appropriate use of referencing standards for discipline. %/grade equivalence is as follows (see Section 10 of this Module Guide for more info): 70% + = First Class 60 – 69 = 2:1 50 – 59 = 2:2 45 – 49 = 3rd 40 – 44 = pass 30 - 40 = marginal fail<30 = fail we use a marking scheme for these assignments, whereby you are marked on a scale ranging from a 1st (excellent) to a fail (poor) for each criteria, rather than allocating a set amount of marks to each criteria. an overall impression of the work’s quality is therefore formed, rather than the marking being done on a dry and mechanical percentage basis. you are awarded an overall percentage mark for your assignments. there is lots of additional assignment information/assistance in the ‘cw1: in-class presentation – advice and assistance’ and ‘cw2: essay – advice and assistance’ sections of moodle. formatting of submitted work · cw1 should be submitted as a powerpoint; cw2 should be submitted as a pdf. · each page must be numbered · 1.5 line (minimum) spacing should be used · all referencing must adhere to school/institutional requirements, following the harvard referencing format – https://libguides.lsbu.ac.uk/harvardreferencing, see below. · a word count must be stated at the end of your work, before the reference list · any tables and figures (photographs etc) must be correctly numbered and labelled · your assignment / coursework should be submitted via turnitin referencing your presentation (cw1) and your essay (cw2) should be fully referenced, via in-text referencing and a full reference list at the end of your work, using the harvard referencing system style. a quick guide to harvard referencing is included in the ‘module resources’ section of moodle, and more detailed assistance can be found here: https://libguides.lsbu.ac.uk/harvardreferencing we expect a minimum of 10 references to books or academic papers to be included for each assignment. any websites you use should be from recognised academic institutions, academic publishers, government departments or agencies, trade and lobby groups, or quality newspapers, such as the guardian and the times. marks will be deducted for poor referencing since this is a skill you should have mastered by your final semester at university. you must present your work neatly and clearly. a poorly presented piece of work will be marked down. therefore, you must spell check and edit all work to a high standard. in a report like this you would be expected to use graphics and photographs to illustrate your discussion. late work and extensions students must use myaccount to submit late submission or ecs requests. it is important you meet all deadlines, but if you are having difficulties in doing so it is also important to let us know as soon as possible so we can provide the best support and guidance. the late submission and extenuating circumstances notification form in myaccount allows you to: · request the opportunity to submit your work up to 5 working days late for an uncapped mark if this is included as part of your dds support arrangements; · notify us of an unexpected issue which is outside of your control that is impacting an assessment (an ‘extenuating circumstance’), which may allow an uncapped late submission or the opportunity to attempt the assessment at another time; · request additional time to submit an upcoming piece of coursework, without having a valid extenuating circumstance (but this will incur a marking penalty of 5% for each working day past the deadline, up to 5 working days). if you submit an assessment late (up to a maximum of 5 working days), and do not notify us in advance via the late submission and extenuating circumstances notification form, then your mark will be capped at a pass. if you do not attempt your assessment within 5 working days of the main deadline, then you will usually be able to attempt the assessment again during the resit period, but your mark will be capped at a pass (unless you are able to provide evidence of a valid extenuating circumstance, in addition to giving a reason why you were unable to submit this evidence before the deadline had passed). full details =="" fail="" we="" use="" a="" marking="" scheme=""
