Teaching and Learning Methods

Lectures to orientate students will be given each week during the course of the module.

There will be one-hour weekly seminars, supplemented by student-led discussion on the current topics in a module forum.

Students are expected to give seminar presentations and to participate regularly in the forum discussion which will be closely monitored.

 

Workload and Assessment

Students will submit two non-assessed 2,000 word essays, in week 7 of both terms.

They will also submit a timed exam-practice essay.
