METHODS OF ASSESSMENT This module is assessed by means of: (a) a two-hour written examination in May (67 % of the final grade for the module) and (b) one piece of course-work, an essay of 2375-2625 words, which contributes 33% to the final grade for the module. TEACHING METHODS This module is taught through lectures and tutorials. Attendance at both is required. Lectures will introduce students to basic materials and issues, with some time for discussion based around specified readings to be done prior to class. Tutorials in the British Museum provide the opportunity for more detailed first hand examination and discussion of examples of some of the most characteristic and important specimens of Greek art, introduced through student presentations. WORKLOAD There will be 18 hours of lectures and 6 hours of tutorial sessions (5 in Autumn term, I hour revision tutorial summer term) for this module. Students will be expected to undertake around 114 hours of reading for the module, plus 30 hours preparing for and producing the assessed work, and an additional 20 hours on revision for the examination. This adds up to a total workload of some 188 hours for the module. 2. MODULE AIMS, OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOMES; MODULE ASSESSMENT AIMS This module provides an introduction to Greek painting, sculpture and architecture in the period 800-50 BC. In the context of a broadly chronological survey, particular attention will be paid to the relationship between Greek art and society. Problems addressed will include: stylistic change and innovation, the role of the state in the development of Greek art, religious ideology and religious iconography, word and image, the social contexts and uses of art. Regular remodule will be made to the largest collection of Greek art outside Athens, the British Museum 3 OBJECTIVES On successful completion of this module a student should: Have an overview of the development and the major monuments of Greek art from 800-500 BC. Understand the principles of the major methodologies of art analysis Be familiar with the major iconographic themes of Greek art Be able to analyse the major styles of Greek art, and date objects by style OUTCOMES On successful completion of this module students should have developed: Oral presentation skills Skills for the critical analysis and interpretation of visual representations Ability to find, organize, evaluate and communicate evidence and theories in relationship to specific research questions TUTORIAL GROUPS Tutorials in the British Museum will take place on Thursdays. Students will be divided into groups, in order to ensure everybody can see the objects we are looking at (some quite small). All students will be required to give at least one, probably two, short presentations in the British Museum (see below for details, pp. 23-26 – section on PRESENTATIONS). Failure to give scheduled presentations will result in a minimum penalty of the student being required to write an additional essay in order to complete the module. ASSESSMENT DETAILS Details of essay questions, with guidance on required and supplementary readings can be found on pages 18-22 of this module handbook. The Module Co-ordinator is willing to discuss an outline (maximum one page) of the student's approach to the assignment, provided this is planned suitably in advance of the submission date. Word-length Your essay should be between 2375 and 2625 words in length. The lower limit is a guideline foe expected length; the upper limit is strict, and the standard draconian UCL penalities apply for overlength essays. The following should not be included in the word-count: bibliography, appendices, and tables, graphs and illustrations and their captions. Do feel free, within reason, to write detailed captions (not more than 100 words or so), pointing up specific features of images that play a role in the argument of your essay: quite a useful skill for an art historian, and allows a little wiggle room around the word limit. In the 2018-19 session penalties for overlength work will be as follows: For work that exceeds the specified maximum length by less than 10% the mark will be reduced by five percentage marks, but the penalised mark will not be reduced below the pass mark, assuming the work merited a Pass. For work that exceeds the specified maximum length by 10% or more the mark will be reduced by ten percentage marks, but the penalised mark will not be reduced below the pass mark, assuming the work merited a Pass. Coursework submission procedures All coursework must normally be submitted both as hard copy and electronically. (The only exceptions are bulky portfolios and lab books which are normally submitted as hard copy only.) You should staple the appropriate colour-coded IoA coversheet (available in the IoA library and outside room 411a) to the front of each piece of work and submit it to the red box at the Reception Desk (or room 411a in the case of Year 1 undergraduate work) All coursework should be uploaded to Turnitin by midnight on the day of the deadline. This will date-stamp your work. It is essential to upload all parts of your work as this is sometimes the version that will be marked. 4 Instructions are given below. Note that Turnitin uses the term ‘class’ for what we normally call a ‘module’. 1. Ensure that your essay or other item of coursework has been saved as a Word doc., docx. or PDF document, and that you have the Class ID for the module (available from the module handbook) and enrolment password (this is IoA1819 for all modules this session - note that this is capital letter I, lower case letter o, upper case A, followed by the current academic year) 2. Click on http://www.turnitinuk.com/en_gb/login 3. Click on ‘Create account’ 4. Select your category as ‘Student’ 5. Create an account using your UCL email address. Note that you will be asked to specify a new password for your account - do not use your UCL password or the enrolment password, but invent one of your own (Turnitin will permanently associate this with your account, so you will not have to change it every 6 months, unlike your UCL password). In addition, you will be asked for a “Class ID” and a “Class enrolment password” (see point 1 above).
