Teaching Rationale And Relationship

All students must attend the Module Talk and each student must attend a tutorial once a month to report on work in progress for comment and discussion with the module leader.

The meetings listed above are the basic requirement. The specific amount of time will vary from student to student.

Creative work of this sort needs both the clear over-riding structure of the meetings listed above and greater flexibility in terms of the duration and frequency of further discussion.
