Activities Report June - October 2023
Please join us for our November 2023 Art and Visual Culture Candidature Seminars.
For the upcoming session, each presenter will be required to present for 15-20 minutes followed by a round of comments by our panelists. Each presentation and QnA will last for 30 minutes. Instead of retiring to another room to deliberate on the results, the panelists will only convene to discuss the results after all the presentations are made within a given panel. Presenters are required to stay back to receive the result of their presentation and additional feedback will be given after the deliberation.
In addition to the above changes in format, the examining panelists and presenters will also be meeting on campus in Bilik Tanjung, Faculty of Creative Arts. Presenters must present at their Candidature Seminar in person.
For those of you listening in and supporting your course mates, please join us online for the Candidature Seminars at: meet.google.com/nbb-ubni-vkk
