publicise set times when they are available for consultation, and you should discuss your problems with the most relevant tutor or the MA convenor. First semester modules These may be comprised of ‘full’ (12-‐week) or ‘half’ (6-‐week) modules. In most instances, these are core modules which set up issues and methods which will underpin your studies throughout the year. These are usually team-‐taught modules , which draw on the expertise of different staff. Each module will have its own module convenor, however, who is responsible for the teaching and assessment of the module. (See following pages for 1 st semester modules for each MA pathway.) The deadline for first semester final assessments will be announced via e-‐mail early in the semester. Second Semester Modules Second semester modules are usually taught by a single tutor, due to the specialised nature of these options. (See following pages for 2nd semester modules for each MA pathway.) N.B Students may choose second semester elective modules outside of their chosen pathway. This is particularly common across the 3 pathways within modern literary studies (ie Irish Writing, Modern Literary Studies, Modern Poetry). If two modules are scheduled for the same time, contact Moyra or Ramona, as we will seek to ensure that your preferred choices can be made. Further information on all MA modules can be obtained by contacting the relevant module convenor. (For core modules, unless otherwise directed, you may contact the MA convenor.) The deadline for second semester final assessments will be announced via e-‐mail early in the first semester. The School of English prides itself on the excellence of its teaching. As part of on-‐going staff development, and the dissemination of good teaching practice, the School operates a system of regular peer-‐observation, in which colleagues sit in on each other’s lectures, tutorials and seminars. The system operates across undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, and in both semesters. 8
