Film and Television Studies and English Joint honours

Teaching and Assessment Teaching For theory modules, there will usually be a weekly screening of a film or programme relevant to the topic being studied that week. This is followed by a lecture that sets out some of the key ideas and theories for that week. You will then attend a seminar, which is your opportunity to contribute to group discussion and share ideas with others in the class. For practical modules, a combination of workshops, training sessions and tutorials will be used. There will also be set readings (for all modules) for each week to help prepare you for teaching sessions and to build your critical knowledge. You will study a variety of traditional and non-traditional texts, covering various modes and genres of literature from the Early Modern Period to Contemporary Writing. By the end of your degree you will have covered key texts in the history of English literature as well as learned about various critical frameworks, contexts and theoretical perspectives. You will have honed existing skills and developed new abilities, such as in the areas of research and writing, oral presentations, analysis and critical thinking, project management, collaboration and teamwork. Depending on individual modules, teaching will consist of a combination of lectures, seminars, class screenings, workshops and tutorials. Assessment Assessment is by a variety of methods. These include essays, projects, presentations and exams.
