  4. Trinity College Dublin Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences Engineering, Mathematics and Science Health Sciences School of Linguistic, Speech, and Communication Sciences School of Business School of Law (… 9 others …) Centre for Language and Communication Studies Clinical Speech and Language Studies Centre for Deaf Studies

  5. What does CLCS do? • Conducts research in language and communication • Offers postgraduate education: • M.Phil. (taught, with research component) • M.Litt. (research only) • Ph.D. (research only) • Provides undergraduate modules (linguistics and phonetics, modern languages) • Provides support facilities for language learning

  6. Course co-ordinator If any personal or academic problems arise that have the potential to interfere with your studies, talk to me as early as possible! Attendance: Full attendance is expected. Inform me, and if possible the relevant lecturers, if you are going to miss any classes.

  7. Course handbooks • Not just meant to be informative – they lay down the law. Students expected to familiarise themselves with them, and if they have any doubts, they should address them to me. • Note importance of avoiding plagiarism in particular – more on this when we discuss essay and dissertation preparation in more detail.

  8. Course committee • Facilitates communication between staff and students • Class representatives (one for each programme) sit on the committee • Normally two meetings, one in each term, but further meetings possible if relevant matters arise • Minutes taken by one of the class representatives • Discussions reported to CLCS committee, which takes decisions as required

  9. Teaching: Two terms of 12 weeks • Michaelmas term: 23 September – 13 December • Hilary term: 13 January – 4 April Week 12 in each term: in general no lectures scheduled, but this is used for lectures that have to be deferred.

  10. Six modules: four core modules (obligatory), two electives (chosen from a list). Core modules always take place on a Monday (10.00-12.00, 4.00-6.00) Electives always take place on a Thursday (10.00-12.00, 4.00-6.00) Plus: Research Methodology – six weeks in MT, six weeks in HT; Wednesdays 4.00-6.00

  11. Part-time • Part-time students normally take the afternoon ‘band’ each year. Afternoons this year are Band A, and will be Band B in 2014-15. • Two core and one elective per year

  12. European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) • Whole M.Phil. Programme: 90 credits • Each module: 10 credits • Dissertation: 30 credits • Postgraduate diploma: 60 credits • ECTS only awarded on successful completion of the course year

  13. Individual modules • In the handbook, readings are listed according to priority. • You should obtain a copy of any titles marked ‘textbook’ • Each module is assessed by an assignment • Some modules may require students to make presentations, which are generally not assessed • Some modules have homework, which in some cases constitute the assignment

  14. Overall assessment of course • The M.Phil. is awarded on a pass/fail/Distinction basis; there are no classes or overall marks • The same is true of dissertations: pass/fail/Distinction • “Students may be awarded the M.Phil. with Distinction if they (i) pass all modules; (ii) achieve a Distinction in the dissertation; (iii) achieve at least 68% in the unrounded overall average mark for the taught modules; and (iv) achieve at least 70% in each of three course modules.”

  15. Assessment of modules • Class system – qualitative / quantitative mix • Compensation for one fail mark of not less than 30% if overall coursework average is over 40% • Deadlines: • MT assignments due Tuesday 14 Jan 2014 • HT assignments due Monday 28 April 2014. Note that essay deadlines coincide, so planning is important.

  16. Assessment of modules I (‘First’)– Demonstrates a full understanding of key issues, an ability to construct a detailed argument on the basis of that understanding, and a capacity for developing innovative lines of thought. (70%+) 

  17. II.1– Demonstrates a full understanding of key issues and an ability not only to construct a detailed argument on the basis of that understanding, but to generate additional insights. (60-69%) 

  18. II.2 – Demonstrates a full understanding of key issues and an ability to construct a detailed argument on the basis of that understanding. (50-59%) 

  19. III – Demonstrates an adequate understanding of key issues and an ability to construct a basic argument. (40-49%)
