Teaching hours in the MT will be commensurate with a usual half unit undergraduate course but note that teaching may take a different format and/or structure in 2021/22. This course includes a reading week in Week 6 of Michaelmas Term, in line with departmental policy.
Students are expected to prepare answers to set questions on a weekly basis, and they will receive teacher and peer feedback during the classes. One formative take-home assessment will be set in MT. Students will also be offered additional support for their summative assignments in preparatory sessions, and they will have the opportunity to ask questions during assessment clinics.
