Teaching and assessment for English and Film Studies MA (Hons)
Teaching
We use a wide range of methods, from lectures, to small group seminars or tutorials, and film screenings.
Most modules in Levels 1 and 2 have two lectures and one tutorial each week.
This may vary in Levels 3 and 4, where you typically have one lecture and more small working groups or seminars per week.
Throughout the course you will be given the opportunity to view the films you are studying through weekly dedicated film screenings.
In Levels 3 and 4 we offer you modules that reflect the diverse research specialisms of our world-leading staff, giving you an extremely varied range of choices.
In Level 4 you can undertake a dissertation, where you will work closely with staff members who are working on topics that are of interest to you.
Assessment
Assessments are carried out by coursework and examinations and vary in type and weighting from module to module. Most modules do not have any exams at all as we find continuous assessment works best to hone our students' skills.
Coursework can consist of essays, close analysis exercises, diary or journal entries, tests, class presentations, team projects, or a number of other possibilities.
