MADA: Art History and Theory essay

As a student in Monash Art Design and Architecture (MADA), you will be expected to
write essays about artworks, design objects and the built environment. Essay writing
in MADA is distinctive from other faculties in its emphasis on these visual materials
and the creative practices of making them. Essays will also ask questions that look at
art through a historical lens that will explore theoretical concepts across different art
periods. The following example responds to such a question.

This is an example of a first year essay that responds to the question:

How is it possible for distinct art periods to create a definitive style, yet share stylistic
similarities? Discuss with reference to two visual examples from different art periods.

Education: Annotated essay


In Education, you often find that an essay is used as a key assessment tool. The
main purpose of an Education essay is to further develop your knowledge of relevant

learning practice
 present a critical argument drawing on class materials and your own research
 identify and examine key ideas and themes about teaching and learning

placement/practice.

We want to share with you an example of an assignment done by a first-year


Education student and commented on by the lecturer. The assignment is an essay
based on observations made during the student's professional experience
placement.

The topic of the essay: Researching Teaching

Students were asked to observe teacher-student interactions during their placement


and interview the teacher involved. For the essay, they had to choose one interaction
to analyse and relate to the ideas discussed in their classes and readings.

The lecturer’s expectations were set out in the marking rubric for this assignment with
six criteria as below:

1. Clear and specific description of the context of the interaction


2. Clear and specific description of the interaction
3. Critical analysis of the interaction
4. Selection and critical use of relevant ideas from the lectures and readings
5. Professional presentation in the written assignment, including clarity of
expression, coherence, fluency and adherence to a set of academic writing
conventions
6. Referencing and citing

Now read the essay. How well do you think it meets these expectations?
