Course Format: Class essays will be set regularly and will be returned with feedback, telling you how and where you can improve. You will sit your AS exam in May. You will be expected to read the texts yourself which will then be discussed in class. Support materials will be provided but you will also be expected to take your own notes. Regular written work will help you to familiarise yourself with the texts.
