About Learning &
Teaching:
As a CCAD student you will encounter a variety of different teaching
and learning situations. These courses aim to develop practical and
conceptual abilities through constructive dialogue between students
and staff.
Tutorials
The ultimate aim of our
programmes is to provide a
framework within which students
develop and express their own
ideas. The working relationship
between students and staff
therefore forms the foundation
upon which the students’
educational experience is built.
back to
contents
page
Studio based individual and group tutorials form an intrinsic part of
your learning process; they offer an opportunity for self-­review and
constructive dialogue between yourself, your peers and your tutors.
The main purpose of tutorials is to clearly identify strengths and
weaknesses so as to allow both you and your tutors address any
issues that might arise in a positive and timely manner.
Formal tutorials incorporate written feedback and provide a record
of a student’s development and progress. Students are required
to note arrangements for tutorials and to have all necessary work
(including research and backup) available. Students are advised
to take notes of issues discussed and points made during or
immediately after a tutorial. Students should notify the lecturer in
advance if s/he is not in a position to attend a tutorial for any reason.
19
Seminars/Critiques/Reviews/Discussion Groups
Seminars/Critiques/Reviews and Discussion Groups are conducted as a
forum for discussion and debate of issues and ideas relevant to your
work. Studio seminars are usually based on or initiated by a visual
presentation and encourage you to address work in a critical manner.
Critiques/Reviews and Discussion Groups are scheduled periodically
during the semester and form an intrinsic part of coursework.
Active participation in these learning activities is a required part of
coursework and to get the most from the experience students
should approach these activities with an open and critical mind.
“to get the most from the experience
students should approach these activities
with an open and critical mind.”
Academic Studies
The structure of education in academic studies
involves lectures, seminars and tutorials. The focus is
student-­led, with an emphasis on discussion and
critique. These may be based on ciritical texts or
take place off-­site. One-­to-­one tutorials, supporting
personal academic research and giving feedback on
drafts are also delivered.
back to
contents
page
Independent Learning
Independent learning encourages you to develop more
responsibility for, and control over your personal working process
– setting objectives, researching issues, managing your personal
timetable, etc. You are encouraged to fully utilise the various
methods of learning open to you, including – gallery visits, library
research, on-­line resources, self-­reflection, peer group discussion
and debate. As a third level student you are expected to take
responsibility for your own educational experience and this is
seen as an important part of growth within our programmes.
You are encouraged to undertake both independently and on
an organised basis, visits to workshops, conferences, galleries,
museums, workshops, design studios and graduate/industry
talks on an ongoing basis throughout your time in college.
International study visits to other colleges, creative arts events,
exhibitions and galleries are periodically arranged and you are
encouraged to partake in these visits when possible.

Written work must demonstrate excellent organisation, showing extensive
use of both primary and/or secondary sources, accurately referenced
throughout and supported by a detailed bibliography identifying all sources.
An excellent standard of writing is required. Arguments will be clearly and
concisely established, demonstrating critical commentary of written views
balanced with original development of ideas and evaluation of material.
Written work should be well organised and clearly expressed. Student
work should reflect good understanding and comparison of alternative
viewpoints; some critical commentary, supported by extensive use of
sources, accurate referencing throughout text, and a detailed bibliography.
Written work should be adequately organised with good expression,
making a reasonable use of sources, mostly secondary, and include
adequate referencing, related to the bibliography. The student must have
demonstrated a comparison of alternative viewpoints, supported by
commentary. The development of argument should be relevant within
the context, though limited in coverage, and should include accurate
description with some identification and analysis of main issues.
Written work should demonstrate limited organisation with limited
referencing to secondary source material, inadequately related to the
bibliography. The student must have demonstrated a description, rather
than comparison, of viewpoints, with little analysis. The development
of argument will be limited, including basic coverage of subject, largely
accurate but with minimal analysis if main issues
Failing to meet the minimum criteria in the pass category; failing to
establish any clear aim or objective; showing no evidence of having read/
absorbed relevant texts; having not understood or adequately analysed
the subject under discussion, the thesis offers material that is for the most
part inaccurate or superficial or merely informed opinion; referencing
largely absent.

Student Info Guide
FAQs & Top Tips
Questions:
How did you find
settling in to college?
It’s a big change moving from second level to third level, but
very exciting -­the main thing is make friends, get involved,
make an effort and remember everyone else is in the same
boat!
I was afraid I wouldn’t make friends, but
everyone was very helpful and friendly.
What were
your main
concerns
about
coming to
college?
Will I have
much spare
time?
Like a full time job the programmes
are full time so this would typically
need at least 40 hours engagement
per week between class and self
directed study/work outside class.
You have to be very careful how you
manage your time; time management
is an important skill, so learn it early
on and it will make life a lot easier.
How do I find out about meetings,
deadlines, assessments etc?
You will get information through your mycit email so this needs
to be checked frequently. Deadlines will be provided with the
assignments or briefs you are given and Blackboard can provide
information, notes and notices for some modules – each
lecturer will point you to the relevant sources of information
for their module. Important information on examinations is
available at http://www.mycit.ie/examinations be
sure to check this out.
back to
contents
page
44
The timetable is very different from
what I was used to. What should I do
if I feel I’m not coping with it?
do if I want feedback?
Ask your lecturer or year coordinator
for advice on creating a work schedule
that suits you. Organisation of your
time and management of workload is
important for effective learning and
avoiding overload.
It is always possible to talk with a lecturer about your work, if not
immediately, then by arrangement within a short time.
I am having difficulties
juggling college work and life
in general what should I do?
Talk to someone – a lecturer, year
coordinator or Careers & Counselling,
there are usually ways to help balance
college and life responsibilities and it is
better that lecturers know your situation
than assume the worst! For information
on: Careers & Counselling.
back to
contents
page
Where do I find information
about the modules, learning
outcomes etc.?
All module details are available on the CIT website
at http://courses.cit.ie
45
Top Tips
Read assignment briefs carefully
and check if you are unsure about
anything
Go to class, seems simple but you would be surprised.
Listen carefully, take notes where necessary
...and ask if you don’t
understand anything
For every activity in class there is a
need to do further work outside of class,
this may be library/online research, assignments or additional practical work;
factor this into your schedule from the start so you keep on top of things.
back to
contents
page
Start assignments on time
and keep on top of them.
You will have different modules requiring different
things from you, make a list, note important dates and
plan a work schedule to spread the workload.
Work consistently;
don’t leave things until the last minute
it will pay off in results and reduced
pressure at the end.
46
Make contact with
students in other
year groups.
Familiarity with their work practice and
drawing on their experience can be
helpful... sometimes!
Look for feedback when
things are going well
Use the many campus based and online
resources available to you for work and play…
(then it will be easier to ask if things aren’t).
Take note of feedback,
make sure you understand it and act on
the advice given – don’t be afraid to ask for
clarification if you’re not sure
Everyone gets “stuck” so
don’t be nervous about
approaching lecturers
for help if you need it.

Make the effort to make friends,
join societies and clubs, go to
social events in college.
AND
Have fun -­college
isn’t all about
work!
