| Summary | 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 research 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 research staff. The course is a series of two-hour classes that familiarise the student with a range of theoretical and conceptual issues that will feed into its completion. |

Learning Outcomes
| The course aims to guide and direct students through the initial stages of the Dissertation process, and specifically the creation of a proposal. It aims to familiarise students with a range of subject-specific theoretical and conceptual issues that will be necessary for the successful production of both proposal and final dissertation, and culminates in the submission of a full proposal for the dissertation. Submission of all three pieces (title; abstract; full proposal) is required in order for successful completion of the course.
