This module allows a student to devise a minor specialism in some period of philosophy, by taking one of the 'text' modules again. Since the text modules run one a different theme or author in each academic year, this is permissible and indeed desirable since the symbiotic effects of such a specialisation will allow the student to get still more out of both modules. Students will sit in on the L6 version of the chosen text module, and follow the same assessment regime to the same timetable.

Seminar/ workshop room with computer and projector; library resources; office space for tutorials; university computing facilities; Blackboard.

The Continuous and Formative Portfolio will consist of a set of elements, all of a formative (learn while doing) nature, and variously distributed throughout the teaching semester. There may also be diagnostic-formative assessments (learn while doing, but not formally assessed). The portfolio may include some or all of the following elements, among others: bibliographic exercises, PDP development diaries, quizzes, essay planning exercises, oral examinations, short answer or multiple choice in-class tests, self-evaluative exercises or reports, exposition essays, research essays, mentoring evaluations, individual or group oral presentations, presentation write-ups or evaluations, informal logic exercises, dissertations, field work reports and discussions, evaluation reports, literature reviews, on-line discussion forum contribution, continuous assessments of performance or contribution, on-line workshop write-ups, critical discussions, article or book reviews, research plans, methodological reviews and evaluations, career planning exercises and reports, take-away examinations, draft versions of any of the above, revised versions of any of the above. All elements of assessment within the portfolio must be passed for the module to be passed.
