Integrative seminar:  4 credits

 

Seminars are offered in the following five disciplines:

  • classics
  • English language and literature
  • history
  • philosophy
  • theology

Students normally attend a seminar in the same discipline as that of their primary tutorial.  Seminar discussion classes enable students to integrate matter covered in tutorials and in University of Oxford lectures as they reflect on methodological issues within their discipline, learning from each other as well as from the tutor.

 

Students are introduced to the research process by writing a term paper for which they must, with the help of a specialist adviser, formulate a hypothesis or question, plan their research paying particular attention to questions of sources, method, and approach, and write a substantial paper.
