The University has set times of the week for teaching activity, as follows:

  • Weekdays from 8am - 7pm, excluding after 1pm on Wednesdays

If you have a lecture or Support and Feedback class scheduled between these times, you are expected to be available to attend. In addition, assessments such as tests may be set at any of these times and where possible, we will add dates to the Tabula timetable. More details will follow on the University's IT system, Tabula.

In practice, teaching sessions will begin at five minutes past the hour and end at five minutes to the hour, in order to allow people to enter and vacate the room in a way that accords with social distancing. You should make every effort to be there on time so teaching can start promptly. Find out more about the timetable policies here.

For other key dates and departmental events, please see the Warwick Department of Economics website.

Location

The administrative home of the Department of Economics is based in the Social Sciences Building. Most University room numbers are in three parts each of which conveys information.

For example, to find S0.88

S = Social Sciences building

0. = the ground floor (0 = ground floor, 1 = first floor etc)

88 = the room number

While all lectures will be in person in the academic year 2023/24, some of your in-person Support and Feedback classes will take place in a variety of places across campus, so make sure you keep a campus map handy. The interactive campus map is a great way to find your location and help plan your route. It is your responsibility to find the locations of your lectures and classes and to ensure you arrive at them on time.

Diversity and values within the Department

We have a commitment within the Department of Economics to embed our key principles into our work and study environment. We aim to foster an environment of respect and inclusion in which all staff perform to the highest standard and students are able to enjoy a world-class learning experience.

Our key principles are:

  • Respect: everyone within our community has the right to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of any protected characteristics
  • Integrity: we are guided by the principles of integrity, fostering an open and positive environment that is inclusive to all.
  • Accountability: we have a personal responsibility to commit to these values and hold ourselves accountable to our words and actions.

For more information about our diverse and inclusive community and to watch a video produced by our staff and students explaining our set of values, please visit our webpage:

What we expect from you

In order to meet your full potential, the Department of Economics (which incorporates both the staff and your peers) has certain expectations of you — and in return you should expect us to deliver on key activities.

The University’s Regulation 36 lays down the expectations of students concerning Registration, Attendance and Progress.

We expect you to engage with your studies and actively participate in departmental activities and events. We expect you to attend lectures and module Support and Feedback classes, where attendance is compulsory. Should your attendance fall below required standards we will contact you and take actions where necessary.

Engaging with your study

In Economics, in order to get the most out of your time here, we encourage you to be fully engaged with your course and to try to achieve the highest academic standards of which you are capable.

'Engagement' in this sense means several things, including:

  • preparing for lectures and Support and Feedback classes as advised by your teaching staff
  • attending and actively participating in all lectures and Support and Feedback classes (online or in person), as well as benefiting from peer learning opportunities and working as part of a group
  • collective learning will help you to improve your skills in a whole range of ways; your analytical skills communication skills and teamwork/collaborative skills
  • meeting your monitoring points, as set out in section 2.6Link opens in a new window
  • making the most of opportunities to discuss your studies with teaching staff
  • meeting your personal tutor
  • supporting each other's learning and development through active interactions with your cohort during lectures and classes, acting as a Mentor or a member of the SSLC
  • benefiting from research opportunities through URSS, the cross faculty research scheme and competitions such as the Carroll Round
  • submitting your assessments on time
  • taking your tests and exams
  • adhering to University and Departmental regulations and seeking guidance when unclear
  • using your initiative and asking for help when necessary at the earliest opportunity.

We have the strong belief that each student can contribute to the learning progress made by others - this is a further reason for encouraging your attendance, participation and engagement.

Student Visa Holders

The above expectations apply to all students, but for student visa holders, it is important that you engage with your course to meet the conditions of your visa. Please make sure you are aware of your responsibilities whilst studying in the UK; you can refer to the Warwick Immigration website and the monitoring point information in section 2.6Link opens in a new window .

What you can expect from us

We want to instil in you the same passion for the study of economics that we have. Therefore, we aim to engage you with all course material and create an enjoyable environment in which to learn and develop. You should be aware of what you can expect from any module and it is the role of the Department to ensure that this information is clearly set out and available.

Below are the key elements that you should expect from every Economics module that you take:

  • a module outline, detailing the module aims and objectives, the learning outcomes and an indication of the material that will be covered, the exam rubric, all of which can be found on the module webpage
  • details of core texts and further readings to give you the best opportunity to prepare for lectures and Support and Feedback classes
  • All modules will have lecture notes and/or other materials posted on the module's Moodle webpage. Links to all videos will be accessible via the Moodle webpage for the module.
  • A well-prepared lecture which has the aim of engaging you and encouraging participation in discussion beyond the lecture
  • Core module lectures are encouraged to be recorded and these will then be made available via the Lecture Capture service (at the discretion of the module leader).

If Support and Feedback classes form part of the teaching of the module, the material should be related to the module syllabus and class tutors should be well prepared and confident with the material they are teaching. You will be advised, with as much notice as possible, of any changes or cancellations of lectures and/or Support and Feedback classes.

For any assessments you should expect:

  • assessment details to be outlined, including the format of the assignment, assessment rules, the submission dates and the expectations of the module lecturer
  • to receive your marked work with feedback and/or annotations within 20 working days of the submission date, unless extenuating circumstances prevent this. If the date for returning work is missed, you will be notified.

While the university environment is — and should be — very different from school/college, you should still expect your lecturers and tutors to have time to discuss any concerns or questions you have about the module material. To this end, you should expect:

  • all lecturers to have two Advice and Feedback hours per week in term time, in which they are available to see you to offer advice on all matters relating to the relevant module. Advice and Feedback hours may either take place online or face to face. Details of how to access the Advice and Feedback hours will be provided.
  • all tutors to be available for a minimum of two hours per week in term time to meet you in person or online to offer advice and feedback. Details of how to access the online hours will be provided on the Current Students hub page.

How to contact academic staff

By email:

All members of the Department have an email account and they will monitor it regularly, though please do note that staff will take academic and study leave and hence during holidays, they will not be responding to emails as regularly. If you have a question for a particular member of staff, an email will normally be the best way to get a quick and straightforward answer or to set up a meeting with the relevant person. If your enquiry involves confidential personal information, it is best to email your Personal Tutor or your Year Tutor/ Senior Tutor directly. Please ensure that your emails are polite and do think about who you send your email to, using the guide above. Please do not send the same email to multiple people as this can cause unnecessary confusion and wastes staff time. You should always use your Warwick email account to avoid your email going into junk or clutter folders and hence not being read.

During Advice and Feedback hours:

All academic staff have Advice and Feedback hours at which they can meet you either in person or in an online forum (with their Advice and Feedback available hours split equally between in-person and online). Advice and Feedback hours will be posted on staff webpages and on the Advice and Feedback HoursLink opens in a new window page. You should make every effort to see staff during these times. If you are unable to meet a member of staff during the stated Advice and Feedback hours, you should contact them to arrange an online or in person appointment at a different time. Appointments should be made via email.

Telephone contact:

Each member of staff has a telephone number, listed online in the University telephone directory. From a telephone connected to the University switchboard the number has five digits, e.g. the Joint Degree Coordinator Ramkumar Govindaswamy's is 23055. When calling a number from outside the University, all internal extensions starting with 2 or 7 have 024 76 5 in front of them and all extensions starting with 5 have 024 76 1 in front of them (e.g. for Ramkumar Govindaswamy dial 024 7652 3055). If you don’t know the number, dial the University switchboard (0 from an internal phone, 024 7652 3523 from outside).

A full list of all staff in the department can be found on our people pages.
