General seminar advice
 
  • Each week has a theme with associated resources - the Friday morning lecture offers an introductory survey and the afternoon seminars opportunities to discuss key topics on the basis of set sources & texts
  • Please complete any assigned seminar tasks (esp. the core readings) before our weekly meetings
  • Be prepared to ask questions, explore a variety of aspects and engage constructively / respectfully with a range of different views
  • University monitoring rules require the keeping of attendance registers - if you cannot make a particular meeting, please mail the module tutor in advance
  • Consultation of further resources will help to deepen your understanding of particular topics, e.g. with a view to written assignments - these include:
  • Over the year, keep some notes on your weekly preparation, contributions to seminars and other learning experiences (e.g. moments when listening to others assisted your understanding), which can feed into the oral contribution assignment
  • We also have a companion moodle platform for selected purposes such as lecture capture / module feedback
