Lectures, Tutorials and Assessment
One two-hour
lecture per week
The lecture series is intended to be self-contained and comprehensive in terms
of the module requirements. However, there are a number of books on the subject
that it may be useful to consult.
Tutorials
Tutorials will be held at least fortnightly, at times that will be arranged in
the lectures. They serve two key purposes. First, they provide a forum for
students to raise questions - either seeking clarification or elaboration - on
topics that have been covered in the lectures. Second, problem sets will be handed
out. Working these problems should facilitate understanding and also permit
further discussion of the implications of some of the core module material.
There is a
compulsory 2.5-hour examination at the end of the module, forming 100% of the
assessment
