Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Teaching will take place in the form of a weekly two-hour lecture/workshop which will include an element of interactive activity, and smaller one-hour tutorials. The lectures (LOs 1-5) will introduce the primary text, outlining key historical, political, and cultural contexts, alongside a range of resources and approaches for students to engage with in their own independent research. These sessions will model close reading techniques and scholarly resources on which students can draw on in their own close analyses. The tutorials (LOs 3-4) will consolidate and enrich learning that takes place during the lectures, enabling students to have a greater stake in the discussion. Learning will occur in a variety of formats to allow for a range of learning styles. Typically, this will include group work, independent research, peer-review, close readings, individual oral contributions, reading and writing assignments and the production of original written material. These activities will afford opportunities for students to receive ongoing feedback on their ideas and progress in advance of the summative assessments.
|
This module does not have a separate formative assessment, but there will be a range of opportunities for development and feedback, including: lecture Q and As; peer-review exercises; oral feedback from the module tutor in lectures and tutorials; office hours; tutor feedback on the first summative assessment.

You will submit two summative assessments on this module:Assessment One: 2 x 750-word Critical Commentaries (1,500 words total)The two commentaries will be worth 40% of your final grade and are due in week 7. This assessment requires you to analyse two passages studied so far on the module, commenting on the passage’s broader themes, language, form, and context. The aim of this assessment is to implement and develop close reading skills of early modern texts, building on reading strategies fostered by ‘Reading Texts: Analysing Literature, Film, and Culture’.Assessment Two: 1 x Research Essay (1,500 words)The second assessment comprises 1 x 1,500-word essay. This assessment is worth 60% of students’ final grade and is due in week 14. The assessment requires students to address one text studied on the module, situating it within its wider historical, political, and cultural contexts. Essay questions will address themes salient to the module, including, for example, national identity, religion, politics, gender, sexuality, colonialism, and knowledge.
