Tutorials Tutorials are run over both semesters. These are designed to complement the lecture programme, consisting of one class per week with a tutor. In the classes, we will engage in discussion on designated topics, view videos, work on further analysis on some lecture topics and develop critical skills in recognition and interpretation of archaeological material discussed in lectures. Guidance is also given on a short field project which is completed as a part of the coursework. Students write up a tutorial notebook on each class and submit this at the end of the academic year.
Attendance is compulsory for degree programme students.
Visiting students are not required to attend tutorials, but may, by arrangement, audit the tutorials. Students are required to obtain a pass grade in First Year Archaeology if they intend to pursue the subject in Second Year. Visiting students may take any or all of the first year courses offered and, in order to receive accreditation, will be required to sit the relevant examinations or to submit an extended essay as appropriate. Please note that students visiting for one semester only may not take AR230 as this course stretches over two semesters. Students visiting for the full academic year will be examined by two three-hour written examinations which are held at the end of semester 2.
