Towards the end of last semester, we discussed some of your thoughts on the module content and structure. \u00a0This semester plan has taken many of those suggestions into account.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In this module you will be continuing to develop your reading and writing skills to the level of writing a Literature Review. \u00a0This page<\/a> sets out some of the reasons why it’s important to learn how\u00a0write in a formal, academic manner.<\/p>\n While\u00a0the positive reasons may be obvious for those that might pursue a post-grad, it is important to emphasis that many of you that are hoping to pursue a more artistic angle for a career will also rely on writing skills throughout your career. \u00a0Writing script and copy, as well as submitting applications for shows, grant applications, and funding are all important parts of the work of a modern creative practitioner.<\/p>\n These next few weeks will hopefully build your confidence in conducting desk research and improving your writing skills. This writing resource<\/a>\u00a0presents many of the approaches for developing these skills that you will encounter. \u00a0The structure presented at the link above may appeal more to some of you. \u00a0Many of these ideas, combined with other elements have been included on this website to provide a pretty comprehensive writing plan for the semester.<\/p>\n One of the suggestions that emerged towards the end of last semester was that you would like the opportunity to start selecting your own readings. \u00a0This is something you will really be developing this semester. As I have mentioned to you, last year in Multimedia Development 2 the group produced a book on game design. \u00a0This is an amazing achievement for this group of students, and the book is available on open library,<\/a> and in the TU Dublin library.<\/p>\n Based on this I am suggesting that we continue in this grand tradition and create a sequel to this open-source academic textbook titled Game Design and Development 2<\/em>. If everyone is open to the idea I’m willing to work in conjunction with you to see if we can publish this book at the end of the semester, for most of you will be your first peer-reviewed academic publication to add to your CV! not bad for 2nd year!<\/p>\n
