Organiser: Mr Wyn Thomas

• Datblygu ymhellach a chryfhau sgiliau ymchwil a gafwyd ym Mlwyddyn 2
• Datblygu gwreiddioldeb a ehangder o feddwl
• Datblygu sgiliau wrth ddelio â materion mewn cerddoriaeth, drama a/neu berfformio
• Datblygu sgiliau mewn chwilio am materion ysgolheigaidd cynradd ac eilaidd
• Datblygu sgiliau trafod, ysgrifennu a chyflwyno canlyniadau ymchwil

Mae'r traethawd hir yn ddarn o ysgrifennu annibynnol ar destun a ddewisir gan yr ymgeisydd mewn ymgynghoriad ag aelod staff ac a gymeradwyir gan y Bwrdd Arholi. Mae'r dewis a'r cymeradwyo hwn yn digwydd yn ystod tymor yr haf yn union cyn Blwyddyn 3.

Dylai'r ysgrifennu gymryd i ystyriaeth ymchwil flaenorol berthnasol, ond dylai ddangos gwreiddioldeb meddwl o ran dull ymdrin a dadl. Rhoddir credyd am ansawdd syniadau, eglurder a rhesymeg dadl, addasrwydd llyfryddiaeth a mireinder y cyflwyniad.

I gyd-fynd â'r traethawd hir ceir seminarau ar y sgiliau ymchwil, llyfryddiaeth a methodoleg sydd eu hangen i ysgrifennu'r traethawd hir.
