Overview
Professional creative practitioners need to self-manage project life-cycles from planning, through development, to implementation, and post completion review. Throughout this process they need to consider how the project may deliver effective client/community, creative, and self-development outcomes.
This unit provides opportunities to work as a member of an interdisciplinary team to deliver and critically evaluate a creative project. Projects may include industry-based creative opportunities or immersive, travel-based learning experiences. Project opportunities will be promoted and can only be applied for through InPlace. InPlace applications have strict closing dates, which may be well in advance of semester.
IMPORTANT: If your application through InPlace is successful, you will be manually enrolled in this unit.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- Identify opportunities for professional development
- Communicate using language consistent with professional creative practice standards across a variety of relevant modes.
- Activate your knowledge of techniques and concepts underpinning your field of creative practice in the pursuit of project outcomes
- Work collaboratively and iteratively in complex project situations with diverse groups of people to deliver project outcomes
- Interpret and respond to project briefs taking into account relevant logistical, cultural, social, and ethical considerations
- Critically evaluate the outcomes of your own and of other's work using professionally recognised benchmarking frameworks
Content
Unit content will cover the creative project lifecycle, professional goal setting, case studies of successful projects, and strategies for critical evaluation of outcomes using professional frameworks. Additional unit content specific to the nature of the project will be detailed on the unit's canvas site.
Learning Approaches
Whole of unit cohort tutorials will be scheduled to align with key project dates such as project orientation and assessment delivery. Project supervisors will also schedule supervision sessions to provide advice and guidance on the delivery of the project. There is a strong emphasis on individual and group-based self-directed learning in terms of the delivery of project outcomes.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
Tutorials will include opportunities for review and feedback of assessment tasks.
Collaborative project work will involve iterative peer feedback.
Project supervision sessions will include opportunities for small group review and feedback, guided by the project supervisor.
Industry aligned projects will include opportunities for industry feedback on student work.
Assessment
Overview
The assessment in this unit is linked to key points in your project's lifecycle which may vary in duration and timing depending on briefs and outcomes. Assessment one is due in the planning phase of your project and requires that you forecast the work you intend to contribute to the project and how this links with your own professional development goals. Assessment two is the delivery of your collaborative project's outcome by the identified delivery date. Assessment three is due after delivery of the project outcome and requires you to review the project outcomes using an appropriate professional evaluation framework.
Unit Grading Scheme
7- point scale
Assessment Tasks
Assessment: Project and Development Plan
Develop a plan that outlines your intended role in the project; the work you anticipate this will involve throughout the duration of the project; how this work will contribute to the successful project outcome; how this work aligns with your professional development goals.
This assignment is eligible for the 48-hour late submission period and assignment extensions.
Assessment: Project Outcome
You will work collaboratively as a member of an interdisciplinary team to respond to a project brief and deliver a negotiated Project Outcome. Project timeline and deliverables vary depending on the project details.
Eligibility for the 48-hour late submission period and assignment extensions dependent upon project outcome.
Assessment: Project Evaluation
Using a relevant professional arts body evaluation framework, you will deliver a post-completion review of your project. Examples of relevant frameworks could include those published by Queensland Regional Arts Development Fund, Arts Queensland, or Creative Australia.
This assignment is eligible for the 48-hour late submission period and assignment extensions.
Academic Integrity
Academic integrity is a commitment to undertaking academic work and assessment in a manner that is ethical, fair, honest, respectful and accountable.
The Academic Integrity Policy sets out the range of conduct that can be a failure to maintain the standards of academic integrity. This includes, cheating in exams, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion and contract cheating. It also includes providing fraudulent or altered documentation in support of an academic concession application, for example an assignment extension or a deferred exam.
You are encouraged to make use of QUT’s learning support services, resources and tools to assure the academic integrity of your assessment. This includes the use of text matching software that may be available to assist with self-assessing your academic integrity as part of the assessment submission process.
Breaching QUT’s Academic Integrity Policy or engaging in conduct that may defeat or compromise the purpose of assessment can lead to a finding of student misconduct (Code of Conduct – Student) and result in the imposition of penalties under the Management of Student Misconduct Policy, ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.
Requirements to Study
Requirements
All students are requested to visit and review the Health and Safety information on the HiQ web pages (CIESJ Tier 1 HSE requirement).
You will be advised if you are required to complete a Tier 2 CIESJ Health and Safety Induction which is provided by the technician on site in the theatre, workshop or studio, or a Tier 3 CIESJ Health and Safety Induction which is a hands on induction on specific machinery.
Costs
Effective participation in collaborative project work may require you to fund your own resources such as:
- data storage (e.g. external hard drives, cloud hosting),
- web publishing (e.g. domain hosting),
- fabrication costs (e.g. construction materials, 3d printing costs),
- production costs (e.g. equipment hire, incidental expenses),
- discipline specific equipment costs (e.g. musical instruments, electronic components, art materials).
Precise costs are dependent upon your discipline of creative practice and the project you work in. Alternative arrangements may be available for students experiencing financial hardship. Refer to the unit's Canvas site and consult with your Project Supervisor for more information.
Projects based on study tour activities may have significant travel costs. Participation in such projects may be eligible for university bursaries or government grants to reduce these costs.
Resources
Required Text
There is no set text for this unit.
Recommended References
These will be provided by staff as relevant to the city or cities on the tour itinerary. Students are also required to research their own resources relevant to both the city and their specific creative discipline(s).
Risk Assessment Statement
For risks associated with using campus buildings or QUT facilities, refer to the HiQ Health and Safety information.
For CIESJ Tiers 2 and 3 Health and Safety requirements, you will be instructed on safe procedures and the required safety gear for all studio and workshop processes that are demonstrated.
Where substantial computer-based work is required, particularly in the case of fully online students, you are recommended to take regular rest breaks when engaging in prolonged computer-based work, and ensure that your workstation is set up for optimal comfort to prevent strain or injury.
Other required safety inductions will be conducted as required.
Creative practice often explores a wide range of topics and themes, some of which may touch upon sensitive or triggering subjects. While we believe in the power of storytelling and self-expression, we also want to prioritize your emotional well-being. Please be aware that this course may contain content that could potentially trigger or upset individuals. These triggering topics may include, but are not limited to:
- Sexual assault or violence
