Brief description

The portfolio is a means of building sustainable writing practices which encourage planning, reflection, revision and completion of material. Each student will be assigned to a writing tutor for the durationof their module, with whom they will meet regularly. The format of the portfolio will enable students to include successive drafts of a piece of writing, recording aims and intentions and explaining and reflecting upon successive modifications.

Content

Supervision of research writing. In order to accomplish this task, students will be assigned a supervisor whose interests will be matched as closely as possible to their own. To facilitate this arrangement, all students will complete a Porfolio Proposal form and hand it into the English Deparment Office before the Easter vacation (in the first year of study for full-timme candidates and in the second year of study for part-time candidates). This Portfolio Proposal will form the basis of matching the student with a suitable supervisor, and it will act as the groundwork for the first consultations with the assigned supervisor.
