| Course description | This course, team-taught by colleagues in English Literature over six weeks at the start of semester two, builds on the School first semester methods course but is tailored to the specific demands and requirements of English Literature students on the subject area’s taught MSc programmes. It has the benefit of fostering intellectual and pedagogical exchanges between students, and of allowing them to discuss subject-specific concerns and methodologies with MSc course organisers and other staff teaching on the various programmes. The course culminates in the submission of a full proposal for the master’s dissertation, but this final stage is assisted by a series of two-hour classes that familiarise the student with a range of theoretical and conceptual issues that will feed into its completion. |
