If any of these difficulties arises with regard to any module which you wish to take, you should consult Professor Woodman. Every effort will be made to overcome any such obstacle. In practice there are very few modules which you will be unable to take for any of these reasons. For most courses it is necessary to attend two types of class. Lectures take place up to twice a week in each module, and are advertised on the School timetable.
Supervisions are small group classes, each group having six to eight members.
Usually you are expected to prepare before a supervision to discuss a number of questions arising from a particular topic. You are also asked to hand in a written answer to a question once each semester in each module to your supervisor, who will return it to you with advice. You will be allocated to a supervision group for each module which you take, and you will be notified of the times of meeting by the notices put up by supervisors. You are entitled to use the services of the International Students Language Centre. You will be advised, following a language test on your arrival, which of the services may be appropriate for you.
