Lecture and Seminar Times

All lectures and seminars will be shown on the Tabula timetables of individual students. This page gives an overview and explanation of the timings of these events.

GENERAL

Each student in this module has one weekly lecture and one weekly seminar.

These events take place during term time, with the exception of reading weeks, when there is no lecture or seminar.

The first lecture/seminar for the module is in term 1, week 1. The last lecture/seminar for the module is in term 3, week 3.

The content for each week is on the Lecture and Seminar Programme.

SEMINARS

There are multiple seminar groups spread across the week. Students will be assigned to a seminar group in time for week 1.

LECTURES

Lectures will take place at different times and places in terms 1, 2 and 3.

Term 1 lectures will be in the Oculus building, in Room OC0.03, on Mondays 5-6pm.

Term 2 and 3 lectures will be in the Zeeman building, in Room MS.02, on Tuesdays 6-7pm.

You may want to look up the room codes (OC0.03, MS.02) on the interactive campus map (login for more detail).

LECTURE OVERFLOW

The following applies to term 1 only, not to terms 2 or 3.

Unfortunately, Room OC0.03 is too small to hold all students taking this module. This will be managed with a mix of extra lectures, virtual lectures, and extra office hours.

Extra lecture

In week 1 of term 1, the lecture will be given twice: first in the usual time and place on Monday (see above) and again in the Social Sciences building, in Room A0.23, on Tuesday 10-11am.

For week 1, please check your Tabula to find out which lecture you will need to attend.

Virtual lectures

For the rest of term 1, each lecture will only be given once. Each lecture will be available virtually as a livestream and recording via the Moodle webpage for the module.

(On Moodle, look for the box saying 'lecture capture' in the upper right of your screen. If you can't see this, you may need to click on a white/purple arrow to open the box.)

To avoid overcrowding, each student will be assigned one lecture that they will attend virtually rather than in person. A student may do a 'swap' with another student if they are assigned a virtual lecture they really want to attend in person. You will hear from the convenor in the course of term about which virtual lecture you have been assigned.

Extra office hours

The module convenor will hold an extra office hour on Wednesdays, 11-12pm, for anyone who wants to catch up on the week's lecture. This will be in the convenor's office, Room 3.75 in the Faculty of Arts Building (FAB). No need to make an appointment, just turn up as and when.

This extra office hour will be held in terms 2 and 3 as well as term 1.
