Resit Information

If you are required to resit any of the assessment components either in the summer or in the following academic year as Resit Without Residence:

- The requirements for the independent Research Essay are the same as on the moodle (3000 words for intermediate and 3800 words for finalists and the options of what to do are the same.)

- HOWEVER the Practical and Critical Reflection (20%) whilst still 1400 words for resit is now a "Practical exercise on periodical publishing and subsequent critical and personal reflective narrative using either physical and digital or digital resources only."
i.e. in case you are unable to physically access the library during your resit period you may do everything the same as per the moodle guidelines but choose to replace the physical periodical with a second, different digitised c19th periodical and you might reflect on using different platforms and online repositories for accessing each and/or talk more about the difference between the periodicals in relation to the Gothic content.

- THE "Group Anthology & Individual Reflection" IS REPLACED with a project on "Anthologising and Collecting the Gothic" (1500 word total) in which [Option 1] you should either construct your own anthology of Short-Form Gothic texts published in the long c19th, mocking up the anthology in a pertinent format and write your own Critical Introduction (1000) and a reflection on the individual process of researching it (500 words) OR [Option 2] write a 2000 word critical review of two existing anthologies of c19th Gothic short form works - thinking about them *as* modes of collecting the Gothic, how they are packaged, marketed etc. This is based on the assumption that you did not complete from start to finish, the group work and so you will now complete a new, whole project as an individual.
