Teaching is delivered in weekly three-hour seminars over 10 weeks across Michaelmas Term (MT Weeks 1-10) and Lent Term (LT Weeks 1-5, and Weeks 7-11 where Week 6 is a reading week). There will be no seminars in Week 11 of MT but students will be required to participate in a three-hour summative assessment session this week as scheduled in the timetable. There will be a two-hour revision session in Week 1 of the Summer Term. Seminars contain a variety of concept-focused content, practical exercises, and case analyses. This year, some or all of this teaching may be delivered using virtual sessions as an alternative to face-to-face teaching due to social-distancing or other pandemic-related restrictions that may need to be observed.
Students are expected to come to each seminar prepared where the assigned course materials have been read and attempted. There will also be several online quizzes to assess student?s knowledge and progress in both terms on a formative basis for feedback. Feedback on performance and progress will be provided during seminars, on selected written homework assignments, and during academic support and feedback hours.
Detailed course programmes and reading lists will be made available via Moodle before the first seminar of each term. A range of academic papers, professional reports and news articles will be used in the course.
Exam (60%, duration: 2 hours, reading time: 15 minutes) in the summer exam period. Presentation (15%) in the MT. Project (15%) in the LT. Class participation (10%) in the MT and LT. Further details of all aspects of assessment and coursework, as well as feedback, will be made available on Moodle nearer the scheduled start time of the course and will be updated as the course progresses with specific instructions, guidance, and feedback.
