My G-5 study plan
A couple of people asked if they could see my study plan that I created in G-5 So I am going to post it. If anyone working on their portfolio wants to see mine, let me know I'll post send it.
Guidelines: The study plan for one semester describes, specifically and in detail, what you will accomplish this semester. Refer to your STUDY PLAN AS A WHOLE as well as the MFAIA Degree Criteria, and as thoroughly and concretely as possible elaborate on this semester's plan of study activity.
Areas of Inquiry that provide the academic and artistic context of your studies.
Portfolio
Exploratin and documentation of art
1. What are your overall learning goals for the semester? Describe the areas of inquiry, central themes, concerns and/or questions that your learning activities will address. How do you envision your creative and intellectual work evolving? How do you anticipate this work will move your practice forward?
2. What creative projects will you undertake and what products do you envision emerging from your creative work this semester? Describe how this work will be documented and how it may contribute to the development and rigorous exploration of your interdisciplinary practice.
3. What critical discourses and theoretical concepts will you engage with this semester? Identify the artists; theorists; movements; fields of study; cultural, social and political frameworks; or other areas of knowledge that you plan to explore and describe how you see this work in conversation with your creative projects and/or contributing to your overall creative development. How will you document this activity; what written or other products-such as critical writing, essays, annotations, etc.-will emerge?
4. What specific resources do you plan to use? Include a Bibliography, as well as other resources you plan to use. In addition, please describe how you envision co-learning with peers this semester.
I still plan on reading as a writer and reflecting on these books as it pertains to my own writing.
5. If you are planning a practicum for this semester, include the complete Practicum Proposal (as outlined in the MFAIA Handbook Addendum) here, describing the project's aim in relationship to your learning goals and how you plan to document it.
6. How will the work you are planning for this semester advance you toward fulfillment of the MFAIA degree criteria? How does this semester's study plan build upon previously identified areas for growth? (For students in the G4 semester, specifically identify any areas you need to address this semester to prepare you to enter the portfolio semester.)
Completion of the portfolio is the final steps in the fulfillment of the degree criteria.
Keep in mind, as you plan your study, the ways in which you will move towards meeting the MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts Program's Degree Criteria. Please refer to these criteria and describe how you will address any areas for growth that you and faculty advisors have identified.
At the end of the semester you will write an evaluation report. Then you will need to look at this plan and ask yourself how well you followed it. The more specific it is now, the easier to compare it with what you actually do during the semester. The clearer your goals, your plans for learning activities and resources, the schedule you laid out for yourself, and your description of the products you hoped to make, the easier it should be for you to assign values to or find value in ('evaluation') these aspects of your ongoing study.
If you and your advisor agree that your study plan should be changed during the semester, make sure the changes are recorded in an Amended Study Plan. If this change indicates a change in your STUDY PLAN AS A WHOLE, amend that plan as well. To formalize changes to either study plan, your advisor must approve the changes in the Student Information System.
