Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes

Learing outcomes are those intended for one term options taken as part of the curricula for programmes in the School of History. These include developing students' ability to undertake independent research and present analysis based on that research to their peers and tutor in verbal and written form, as well as learning more about the results of new work in a dynamic area of historical research. As this one term option is designed for students taking it in the first term of their initial year in an Honours programme in the School of History, three one-hour sessions have been adopted as a framework which allows the course organiser to encourage students to move away from the pattern of study associated with second year survey courses (three one-hour lectures and one tutorial per week) towards a seminar-based pattern of Honours study. Structure can be provided for those students who require it in the form of lectures in the initial weeks of the course, with seminars increasing in frequency as the term progresses and students become more confident in their own ability.

Assessment Information

There will be one essay of 3000 words weighted at one third of the overall mark and an examination paper of two hours duration set in the June diet of examinations and weighted at two thirds.
