The dissertation...
It is not just a descriptive piece of work
Think analytically
Be enthusiastic
It is a common mistake to choose a broad topic - it is essential the topic is relatively narrow
Choose the best topics that will inform your argument / standpoints
Start collecting information that is relevant to your particular interest
It will feed into your studio practice - needs to have relevance
Marking
Marked against a clinical mark scheme
Use a breadth of sources - they mark against this (books, magazines, journals, exhibitions, web etc)
How have you collected evidence from these sources? What is important?
Research
The collection of information is the key to a stress free project
E-mail / write letters to companies
Dissertation tutorials with supervisor
Proposal

What primary sources will you use? First hand interaction
Have some sources prepared for the dissertation proposal
