Sunoikisis grading criteria
(As used in ICS02 Digital Classics and ICS03 Digital Approaches to Cultural Heritage)
You should design a small project, achievable in the time you would expect to spend writing a 15-credit essay, and divide your time between two exercises:
- Carry out a self-contained and manageable piece of research using EpiDoc, Papyri.info, Wikidata or other methods selected, with a view to seeing what this would teach you about your chosen topic of interest.
- Write a short (c. 2,000 word) report on the project, explaining the digital methods, including awareness of relevant literature, design of the experiment (including expected results), your assessment of results, including successes and shortcomings of the approach, how a larger project might build on the basis of this work, what you may have learned about the topic from the exercise.
As part of the planning process, all students will give a short oral report in class, and receive feedback from the tutor and other students. (For the 20-credit version only, this report will also be assessed.)
You should submit by email to the module tutor for assessment, the report as a Word or PDF document, along with as much evidence of the digital project as possible. Depending on the nature of the tool or approach, this evidence may include ay or all of:
- Digital files (e.g. EpiDoc XML files, EFES stylesheet/index customisations, spreadsheet/CSV of metadata or Wikidata content) attached (preferably zipped) to the submission email;
- Online files in a collaborative web tool (such as Github/GH Pages, Perseids, Papyri.info, Wikidata), with URLs listed in an appendix to the written report. Try to link to a time-stamped or specific version of your files, or do make sure that nothing is edited or added after the submission deadline;
- Illustrative screenshots embedded in or as an appendix to the report (not included in word-count);
- Other formats by agreement in advance with the tutor.
A single mark will be given for this assessment based on a combination of these two parts to the submission. The report is all-important, as it puts the digital work into context. It is perfectly possible to submit a project that did not go as you planned (this is not a failure; it is an experiment with a negative result!) with a report that explains what we learn from this result, and still achieve a high mark for the assessment.
