 “Is 2017 the year the music festival died?” (The Irish Independent, 4.7.2017). Critique this statement by drawing on, and responding to, three themes explored during this module

* The report should have clear headings based on three themes from the course

* Students should research the question and support their answer with a range of references encompassing both academic sources (journals and books) and appropriate non-academic sources, e.g. industry reports and media/press coverage

* Material related to working on this assignment will be looked at in seminars and lectures throughout the semester, however to achieve the highest marks reading beyond the core course material will be required

* It is advisable to draw on least 10 academic references when researching and writing this assignment

* The assessment criteria for this assignment is outlined at the back of this module guide. It explains the marking criteria in relation to different possible grades

* A briefing on this assignment will be given in week 5. Helpful material will be made available throughout the module via lectures, seminars and Moodle

* Dedicated coursework surgeries for this report will be provided in the week 12 seminars. These will provide an opportunity for students to discuss the coursework prior to the winter break and the subsequent submission deadline

The assessment criteria for Coursework Two is:

• Knowledge and Understanding
• Literature and Evidence/Data Gathering
• Structure, Organisation and Clarity
• Presentation Skills and Clarity of Expression

We are using a marking scheme whereby you are marked on a scale of fail which is poor to 1^st which is excellent for each criteria, rather than allocating a set amount of marks to each criteria. An overall impression of the work’s quality can therefore be formed, rather than marking to a rather dry and mechanical percentage basis. You will still be awarded an overall percentage mark. This report should contain no fewer than 10 references. A detailed assessment criteria can be found at the end of this module guide.
