Teaching and assessment for English and Politics MA (Hons)
Teaching
There are different teaching methods depending on which modules you choose. Most will include:
- lectures
- tutorials
- seminars
- workshops
- online resources
Some modules will include specialised teaching such as trips.
You can find out more from individual module descriptions.
Assessment
Assessments across both subjects are carried out by coursework, examinations, and continuous assessment and vary in type and weighting from module to module.
In English 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
Modules
In your first and second years you will also complement your specialist subjects by studying additional Humanities or Social Sciences subjects such as Philosophy or a modern language for example.
There are no compulsory English modules at levels 1 and 2, but a few are recommended. At levels 3 and 4 you will normally take 50% of your modules in English and 50% in Politics.
