Description

Dissertation The dissertation will be 8,000 words in length and should contain a full bibliography and discography. Audio methods of illustrating points are acceptable. Some pointers for the final submission: 1. Use the referencing system which is recommended by the School, and do so consistently. This is the Harvard referencing system. Your Module Leader will advise you about this. 2. If work is produced in hard copy, avoid submitting loose-leaf or stapled work. Have the work bound; 3. Avoid colloquialisms, but aim for a pithy, academic writing style; 4. Proof-read for grammatical errors and spelling errors; 5. Ensure you adhere to academic conventions, including a title, an abstract, a contents page (referenced to page numbers), clear aims and objectives, an appropriate methodology, numbered pages throughout (save frontispiece), and clearly labelled examples, tables, and appendices (including findings from empirical data); 6. Avoid descriptive commentary, but aim for pertinent analysis and deep evaluation; 7. Include music examples to support your argument. These may be staff notated and/or recorded on CD/DVD, the latter to be included in an appendix; 8. Structure the work carefully using chapters, sub-headings, etc; and 9. Avoid lists and bullet points, but instead construct full sentences and paragraphs
