Approaches to Teaching and Learning:

The course is taught primarily via lectures with small tutorial groups. This will give students the opportunity to look at works of art in the original on a gallery visit and to discuss ideas. Although learning supports will be available on line, students will be strongly encouraged to visit the library in person, read books, visits galleries and museums, make use of recommended texts, and contribute in class. Support material from lectures will be available on Brightspace and students are encouraged to keep a journal detailing the content of the lectures and related tasks and research.

It is incumbent on any undergraduate student who fails this module to contact the lecturer concerned to announce their attention to resit, and to obtain details of resit assignments. Any resit/ repeat registration/ fee issues should be dealt with by the Arts programme office.
