By the end of the module the student should be able to: Identify and evaluate the most frequently used sources (archival, literary, and visual) for the study of the Renaissance; Communicate ideas and findings both orally and in writing to peers and to tutors; Engage in the analysis of a body of source material by using relevant information technology; Analyse and evaluate the contributions made by existing interdisciplinary scholarship on the Renaissance; Develop the ability to contextualise the Renaissance.

Timetabled teaching activities

The module will be taught through weekly lectures, fortnightly 1.25 hour seminars, and individual meetings to discuss feedback on your short essays.
