The reading lists set out a range of articles or books providing further information on the lecture material, and you are expected to read a selection of these in your own time in order to deepen your understanding of the material and prepare yourself for the exam. Practical sessions consist of individual or group exercises conducted in class, and may include discussion of video presentations. They accompany the lectures, but introduce you to particular techniques and skills. The essay needs to follow the rules about referencing and presentation given in your Study Guide. The exam comprises two questions drawn from the lecture topics only, and is 1.5 hrs long.
All work needs to be accompanied by a green submission form.
