This is a 15 point NET paper that utilises a mix of synchronous learning tools (Zoom) and asynchronous (Moodle).

Students are expected to dedicate 150 learning hours to this paper. This includes attending weekly 2 hour lectures on zoom Tuesdays and Thursdays 3-5 (when possible these lectures will be recorded and stored on Moodle). On Thursdays space is also set aside for group and one-on-one sessions to facilitate interaction on zoom as well as as part the assignment preparation. Any additional time during zooms will be used to discuss readings and lecture material in an informal interactive tutorial format (46 hours in total). As part of the paper's assessment, students will need to prepare for 6 guest lectures every second week by completing readings and preparing questions to facilitate positive participation in lecture discussion. This is expected to take 2-3 hours each week (24-36 non-contact hours), leaving approximately 68 hours to prepare assignments and complete additional readings.

There is no set text for this paper. A range of readings will be made available primarily on the Reading list, though there may be an occasional one such as a document that cannot be attached to the reading list and will be put up on Moodle. The Reading List has been connected to the week topics as set out in Moodle to make them easier to find.

Students are expected to read required readings before the relevant lectures to develop their questions as a basis for their participation in class discussion - see assessment guidelines on Moodle for more information.
