This unit is the penultimate in a sequence of four units that provides an opportunity for students to undertake an independent project in the creative and/or performing arts. The independent project may be a theoretical or historical study, or a creative project. Under the supervision of staff, students will continue to develop their independent project, building on lessons learned or knowledge gained in the project’s earlier stages. Students will re-evaluate their project’s measurable outcomes to determine the success of this stage of their project. Students will deepen their practice of working autonomously to further develop their analytical, creative and technical skills in the service of an independent project.
This unit will require students to undertake independent research, which may include creative practice. This will involve the securing of rehearsal space and working on and off campus outside of standard teaching hours.
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECU's LMS
For more information see the Semester Timetable
Students will attend a series of supervision sessions and engage in learning activities via the ECU Learning Management System.

For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.
Students please note: The marks and grades received by students on assessments may be subject to further moderation. Informal vivas may be conducted as part of an assessment task, where staff require further information to confirm the learning outcomes have been met. All marks and grades are to be considered provisional until endorsed by the relevant School Progression Panel.
Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work as well as any generative artificial intelligence tools that may have been used. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.
Breaches of academic integrity can include:
Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.
ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.
All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.
Students may apply for Special Consideration in respect of a final unit grade, where their achievement was affected by Exceptional Circumstances as set out in the Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000003318.
