The first thing we are introduced to is the reading list which can be found on the moodle page via hyperlinks from this blog. The first texts we are introduced to are Gilgamesh and The Book of genesis, both to be read by tuesday of week 2.
Next we are advised on preperation techniques to help us get the most out of lectures. This involves again going to moodle via the link and looking through the assignments and prep material for the week ahead as well as looking at podcasts and other research material as this will help later in the year when we come to write our essays, it is also advised to read through the lecture handouts before each lecture and print one out for when it arrives. It was also stated that we can find the exact extracts and chapters that the lecture will be relating to, this can also be found on moodle.
The third topic covered was nate taking. We were made aware that sometimes the lecturer will ask us to listen and not make notes. Some lecturer's notes can be found online throughout the year. i Personally have decided to write up my notes on Blogger so as to get easy organised access from anywhere. We were also told that we will be covering aroud 2/3 of the primary texts within our group discussions and seminars and that we should ask and seek help from tutors based on our needs of their specific expertise in certain fields.
The format of our examination is as follows:
5% participation (being at and engaged throughout lectures and seminars)
Oral Group Presentation (marked on an individual basis-to be explained later in the year)
2 Essays (both 2500-3000 words,deadlines: Tuesday 14th November; Tuesday 8th March)
All essays are based upon individual research and lecture notes. All quote and unoriginal ideas must be referenced accordingly.
