Lectures will be online. The School aims to run in-person seminars, subject to circumstances, with some online provision if and where necessary. There will be a reading week in the Michaelmas and the Lent Terms.
Students will be required to do two presentations, to write one 2,000-word essay and one 1,000-1,500-word book review, and to contribute to weekly Moodle discussion forums. These assignments will not form part of the final assessment but they are a required component of the course, and students must complete them in order to be admitted to the course examination.
