Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The assessment has two parts: class tasks & the final essay.

During the semester we will have two in-class tasks. These are assessed on a merit/pass/fail basis.
If you complete all of these tasks and submit a reasonable attempt at the final essay you will get at least a 3.
Higher grades (2 and 1) are awarded on the basis of the final essay, compensated for merits in the tasks.
The exact essay length is to be determined but is currently planned for ~2500 words.

The essay can be on any topic covered in the course.
Subject to agreement, you are welcome to write on other adjacent topics not discussed in the course.

If you wish to write a BA thesis as part of this course, feel free to contact me for further discussion.
