Year Taken: AY 17/18, Sem 2
Grade: ASame prof as HS3017. Large percentage in group work (45%) so make sure you take this module with people you know or I pray you get lucky with your group mates! 45% consist of a 4500 word report and a presentation. 30% class test and 25% individual/pair presentation on the weekly readings + class participation.
This module was very interesting and very niche. I went in without any religious knowledge so I struggled a little. However, again, presentation style so it was useful. My class did this thing where everyone presented on google drive and shared the links with each other so everyone had equal resources. This is honestly the spirit of learning, also because we were a very small class of about 18 people.The bad thing about this is that it’s a 4 hour seminar. 1.5-2 h lecture, 1h presentation and another hour of discussion. He rarely ever lets us go earlier so it’s really a full 4 hours. Very prone to falling asleep. Other than that, please talk A LOT in class, ASK + ANSWER questions. This was my saving grace.
