MAJOR SEQUENCES
Except where specifically provided to the contrary. any of the MajorTopics here listed may be offered instead as a cognate.
The term Set Books is used for books of which students are expected to have their own copies; they are not expected 10 have their own copies of books listed as Preliminary Reading, Recommended Reading or Further Reading. If students wish to acquire for themselves books in addition to those listed as Set Books they are recommended to acquire those indicated by a dagger (tJ. Preliminary Reading is reading which the student is expected to have cOmpleted before the commencement of teaching and on which he may at any time be tested. Further Reading and Recommended Readirig, \Vhere not othenvise specified, indicate reading which the student is expected to do in the course of studying th.c Set Books. ·Disciplines may from time to time·issue further lists of books as reading either required or merely recomn1ended.
Study methods and assessment procedures vary.from discipline to discipline. Students are advised to read the separate entries for each discipline, where information on these matters will be found.
Lectures, tutorials, seminars and practical classes are held 'vithin the School, and supervised and unsupervised projects inay also be prescribed. ParticUlar importance is attached to the personal supervision of undergraduates in tulorials. In certain topics the tutorial is the.principal teaching medium. Students auend tutorials either individually or in small groups. Regular \Vork in the language laboratory prepares candidates for the oral cxaminadons in f!Jreign languages.
Students in the School of Humanities are invited to attend lectures or seminars held in topics or disciplines in which they are interested but for which they have not formally enrolled.
Students \Vhose work is of sufficiently high standard may proceed to an Honours degree, either by embarking on a two-year Honours programme after completing 24 units in each of two major sequences and 24 units of cognates, or by embarking on a one-yC'dr Honours programme on completion of the Ordinary degree, i.e. 36 units in each of two major sequences and 36 units of Cognates. For details o{ the Honours programmes, see index.
The tern1 Level refers to the lowest level at which a 1opicmay be taken. Level: First Year thus means that the topic in question may be 1aken in First, Second or Third Year of the Ordinary degree; Level: Second year means that a topic may be taken in Second or Third Vear; Level: Third Year means thal a topic may be taken in Third Vear only.
