Description
The course unit which is spread across two weeks' work is a study of "Mark". This television programme is not related to the correspondence texts it is a renedial programme designed to he...lp students with their study problems. Throughout the correspondence texts, students are asked to answer self-testing questions. At this halfway point in the course there was evidence that some students were worried by the "open" question - perhaps a matter of evaluating a poem or painting - which seems to lend itself to a variety of answers. In the programme Professor Arnold Kettle sets such a question about Blake's poem "London" to three students and then connents on the way in which each of then tackled it. He shows that questions about literature are not always as "open" as they look. Then Professor Arthur Marwick discusses history questions with the students. He makes the point that, although there is plenty of scope for interpretation in the study of history, in the early part of the course he has sought to establish certain principles of historical study and that the questions he has set are designed to show whether the student has understood then properly. The programme is chaired by Derek Rowntree, Senior Lecturer in the Institute of Educational Technology and a member of the Arts Foundation Course Team.This progranne is unlikely to be of more than general interest other than to Open University Arts students.
