Other useful dates: 22nd February 1st set of titles released. Pick one and write a report of 2–2,500 words. We’ll discuss the nature of the report in the tutorials. 22nd March 26th April 10th May Return your report. There is also a compulsory lecture this day, so don’t do anything silly like leaving Cardiff before then. Second set of titles released. Return the second report.
Things to bear in mind: Attendance at all lectures is compulsory. I’m not wild about the Friday 4–6 slot, but it’s all we could get. It’s a large class, so it won’t really work if you interrupt the lecturer; please save questions for the end. And please do ask questions — they’re all nice people, and happy to help. You have 4 weeks to write the first report, but this includes the weekend you’re in Gregynog. So think about time management. You have 2 weeks to write the second report, which includes revision week — Spring exam period starts on May 13th. You’ll probably have other deadlines, so, again, you’ll have to think ahead. 2,500 words isn’t that much.
The module assessment is 2 reports, there is no exam.
