1. Overview

1.1. Short description

This course consists of two parts. One part involves a group project that the students will need to develop and deliver by working in group, and runs from January through to beginning of May. This is driven and created by the full-time students who take the

Exhibition Project course. Part-time students can work on an individual project related to their work. This is done in consultation with the course co-ordinator. The other part is the taught part of the course which is usually run in museums and covers topics that directly relate to project development.

1.4. Methods of assessment

This course is assessed by means of a total of approximately 4,500 words of coursework, divided into one individual project report of 1,500 words and one portfolio. The portfolio will include a 5,000 word project brief (part of group effort) and any appendices. The project portfolio will be assessed along with the product(s) of the project. If students are unclear about the nature of an assignment, they should contact the Course Co-ordinator. The Course

Co-ordinator will be willing to discuss an outline of their approach to the assessment, provided this is planned suitably in advance of the submission date.

The target for return of course work to students is three weeks from submission. Returned and marked course work for the first assignment should be returned for second marking within two weeks of receipt by students. Two copies of the report for the second assignment should be submitted so that one copy can be returned to the student while the other goes for second marking ± this is because this assignment is submitted close to the end of the academic year.

1.5. Teaching methods

The course is taught via lectures by senior museum professionals, as well as workshops, practical exercises and study visits. The latter aim to give students greater familiarity with the material/methods and techniques covered in the course. The course is evaluated by students on completion of the interpretative project.

1.6. Workload

In addition to a minimum of 30 hours of lectures and project supervisions, students are expected to attend project sessions and the visits that are arranged. Students are also expected to spend 20 hours on the assignments and reports, and 100 hours on private reading and/or group work. Project preparation may cut into the Easter break. Project team meetings are held every Wednesday, starting from Wednesday 15 January 2014. In addition to the weekly project meetings, you are expected to participate in five two-hour practical seminars on developing exhibitions at UCL, exhibition design, programming and on label writing and mounting. The workload for this course can be very heavy, depending on how much work students are prepared to invest in their project.

5

Students must include the title of the course, their name, report title, date of submission, and number of words in the front page of their report.

2. In addition, the work of each individual and the team is recorded in a joint file ± the project portfolio - related to the project process, to be produced by each project team. The portfolio should be 5,000 words (excluding the appendices) and it should include:

9. Executive summary (overview of the project)

10. Project brief

11. A record of work on the project (project progress)

12. Appendices (i.e. content research, evaluation reports, text, design material/sketches, marketing material etc)

The products of the finished interpretive project makes up 25% of the course marks , while the contribution of each sub-team (i.e. content, management, evaluation, final object list, etc) to the project portfolio make up another 25% of the course marks.

Group project, teams and further details will be announced Wednesday 13 January 2016 in

RB13.

Friday 6 May 2016, projects and project portfolios completed by 5pm.
