This course is delivered through a combination of classes and lectures totalling a minimum of 40 hours across Michaelmas Term and Lent Term. Lectures will either be recorded or given in the form of live webinars. This year, while we are planning for most classes and seminars to be delivered in-person, it is possible that some or all of this teaching may have to be delivered virtually. This course includes a reading week in Week 6 of Michaelmas and Lent Term.
Students will be expected to produce 1 exercise and 1 other piece of coursework in the MT. Students are expected to produce two pieces of formative written coursework in the MT. They will give formative presentations on topics that form part of the course content. They will receive structured feedback on their formative coursework.
