ARHT1001: Style and Substance
Weighting: 20%
Due: Before midnight on the day of your tutorial
Marking Criteria: Quality of visual analysis, Understanding of historical context, Sophistication of argument, Clarity of writing
Protocol, please read carefully:
1. Please find your work/questions for the Object Analysis assessment below.
2. Only respond to the work/questions you have been set by your tutor, given below.
3. Please structure your response in four sections, using the set questions as subheadings.
4. Write approx. 250 words per section. You may write a little more/less on a section. Each section should roughly be 200-300 words, and
not exceeding 1100 words for the whole assessment. Anything more than 10% under/over the limit may be subject to penalty.
5. Return your response by 11.59pm (Syd time) on the day of your tutorial/as prior arrangement. Late work is subject to a penalty of 5%
per day. Please submit your work through the CANVAS dropbox. Allow time for technical issues. If the dropbox fails, email your tutor the
assignment so you’re not penalised. You will need to upload through dropbox later. Work can not be marked unless it is submitted
through the dropbox. Upload your assessment through Canvas by clicking “Assignments” on the left-hand menu. A video guide to
uploading assessments is available under “Modules” and “Knowing the Basics” if you need help uploading your assignment.
6. Remember you must rely on lecture and tut discussions/materials. Anything taken from the internet will be too general. If you chose to
7. Know all relevant material/ideas on your work/context. If you only listen to 1 section of 1 lecture, your response will likely be weak.
8. We suggest drafting your response earlier in the day, then leaving it for a few hours. Come back and edit it using the Week 1 lecture on
visual analysis and the visual analysis sheet to make sure you are analysing, rather than describing. ‘How’ and ‘why’ are key!
9. The whole of the response must be written in your own words.
10. Please email Mark if you have questions As tutors won’t be checking email as regularly.
11. Ignore Canvas saying you’re late/the due date is Monday 28th The system can’t process multiple due dates. Ignore it. It won’t affect you.
12. GOOD LUCK!
Just a reminder on the difference between analysis and description as covered in our Week 1 class.
