Ways of Viewing: Power, Control and the Moving Image

Course Descriptor and Assessment Brief We shape our tools. And afterwards, our tools shape us.’ Marshall McLuhan Today, we live in a world full of screens. You’re probably reading this sentence on one. I was looking at one when I wrote it. And all those screens show us all these images, which help form our view, literally, of the world. We live in a world of cameras too: you probably have one on your phone; and you can rarely walk down a city street without being caught on CCTV. Think for a moment about how powerful, or not, this makes you feel. How much control do you have over the moving image, including your own? On this course we will explore the relationship between the moving image and the culture which produces and consumes it. Drawing on a wide range of media theory, we will discuss how we participate willingly or otherwise – in the moving image, and examine the pleasures and woes created by our participation. Central to the course is a discussion of how the moving image shapes our notion of what is real and true, and influences our sense of being in the world. Assessment is in the form of an illustrated essay of approximately 1,800 words in response to the brief below. Essay Assessment Brief With reference to specific examples, and focusing on ideas of power and control, discuss how participation in the moving image has shaped your sense of yourself and of the wider world. In your essay you may choose to focus on a particular medium, such as television. Alternatively you may wish to compare and contrast different media for instance, film and computer games exploring the similarities and differences that characterise participation in these forms. Your argument should be supported by at least two credible secondary texts (not necessarily from the reading list), fully referenced, with a complete bibliography and list of sources consulted.

It was a scene that integrated many forensic disciplines, from DNA analyst to forensic dentists and forensic engineers. Focus paper on crime scenes in the terrorist age.

Signature Assignment: Developing a Research Design Plan

Signature Assignment: Developing a Research Design Plan The class has been focused on business needs, research questions, and hypotheses. In the business world, these components are cumulated in a proposal or research design plan for review and documentation. The components of a research design plan can vary by organization, but all have similar components and are analogous to an academic research proposal. 1. Title 2. Business Need This section begins the discourse on the issue or topic; the business need incorporates the project aim, rationale, and objectives. This is similar to the Introduction section of an academic research paper. 3. Research Area This section of the research plan is analogous to the literature review and states the importance of the problem. In addition, it talks about previous research or cases related to the issue. This section provides context to the business need. 4. Research Question The research question narrows the focus on the business need into a specific, researchable question that can be answered by collecting data. 5. Hypothesis Your hypothesis provides an educated guess on the outcome of the analysis performed to answer the research question. 6. Methods and Procedures This section can focus on extant or primary collection of data. The research will document sources of data, procedures involved in data collection, tools utilized for analysis, and analyses to be performed. The aim is to provide enough information to allow another reader to follow the procedures and derive similar outcomes. This concludes the research plan outline. However, once the plan is approved, data collection begins. The data collection, analysis, and reporting complete the research process and data life cycle. In addition to the above components, the following would be added to complete the full research paper: 1. The Findings section is a culmination of the research and the most important part of the paper. This is the place to present a business proposition and to discuss its practical value. This section is the reason for doing the research; its value for the reader is the acquisition of new knowledge.
