Introduction:

This module is designed to help you consolidate the academic skills you have learned over the first two terms, to make the transition to working in the philosophy department, and to reflect on how these skills will be useful outside of the academy.

The module will begin with an introductory session at the end of the Spring term. In this meeting we will familiarise ourselves with some of the skills that we will be developing, and we will discuss the work involved in the rest of the course.

The majority of the teaching will then take place in the first half of Summer term. We will meet on three consecutive Tuesdays. The details of these three sessions are included below.
