Our methods aim to be both lively and innovative. Consequently, English at Dundee has received the highest ratings for Teaching Quality assessment - see Teaching Quality and Awards. We employ a wide range of methods, from lectures and film screenings to small-group teaching. Most modules are assessed by tailored combinations of coursework and formal examinations.
Another reason we rated Excellent: we take account of student views and needs, through a system of consultation at every level - class representatives, staff-student committee, questionnaires, etc. We also encourage intellectual and presentational skills which will be of real use in later life. It has been said that English aims to help students ‘develop the insight of an artist, the analytical precision of a scientist and the persuasiveness of a lawyer.’ We agree.
All modules are supported on-line in Blackboard, the University’s virtual learning environment.
