What this paper is about
How this paper will be taught
This paper is taught using blended learning with resources made available on Moodle and lectures recorded using Panopto. The first four weeks provide the building blocks for thinking about social policy in practice. The remaining eight teaching weeks are dedicated to social issues such as inequality, unemployment, welfare and income adequacy and housing. The weekly topics have been set up to introduce a social issue and then consider a policy response to this issue.
The workload for this paper has been calculated based on the expectation that students will and are able to dedicate 150 learning hours to this paper over the course of the semester - this includes completing weekly readings, attending the two hours of contact (lecture) time each week, and completing assessments.
