58301 Communication Practice Project

This is the capstone subject in the BA in Communication, designed to bring together knowledge and skills gained by students throughout their entire course. Students have the opportunity to work on projects that develop creative and innovative responses to communication and/or media issues and problems. Students work collaboratively in cross-program teams which may also work with external 'clients' or partners in projects. At the beginning of the semester, a contract for the project is negotiated between the student group and their 'client'. Students need to assess their progress and write critical reflections and evaluations on the projects and project processes. There may be opportunities for students to organise symposia or conferences to present these reflections. Course professional portfolios – electronic and other media – will be finalised.
