Courses in Social Policy will follow the Teaching Model which has been adopted by the Department of Social Policy during the period of the pandemic. This is outlined HERE:?https://www.lse.ac.uk/social-policy/Current-Students/teaching-in-the-department-of-social-policy. This course will be taught through a combination of either a recorded lecture plus a follow-up Q and A session or a ?live? on-line lecture; and classes/seminars of 1-1.5 hours (with size and length of classes/seminars depending on social distancing requirements). Further information will be provided by the Course Convenor in the first lecture of the course.
Students will be expected to produce 4 pieces of coursework.
