This course is delivered through a combination of classes and lectures totalling a minimum of 40 hours across Michaelmas Term and Lent Term.? 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. ? The course includes a reading week in Week 6 of Michaelmas Term and Lent Term.
All students are expected to write one formative essay, or similar piece of work, and make one formative presentation that will not be used in the final assessment.
