Attendance at tutorials is compulsory. It is students’ responsibility to ensure that they have been allocated to a tutorial group. Students may not change group without permission. Work and attendance The work and attendance requirements for this course are that you: • Attend all tutorials If you are absent from a tutorial through illness you should inform your tutor and fill in a Certification of Student Ill Health (available from your department or from the SoSS UG Office; see you degree programme handbook for further details). If you are absent for another reason you should tell your tutor or the Philosophy Administrator, Joseph Barrett as soon as possible – if possible, before the tutorial. • Prepare adequately for tutorials You will be set preparatory work for tutorials; see the study budget below for a guide to roughly how long you should spend on this. • Complete written work on time Failure to complete assessed work by the due date constitutes a violation of the work and attendance requirement. Violations of work and attendance requirements will be reported to your Programme Director. If you have difficulties (e.g. personal, financial or family problems) that result in persistent failure to meet the work and attendance requirements, you should talk to your Programme Director or Academic Advisor. 104
Texts recommended for purchase: It is not essential that you buy any text. Tutorial readings will be made available on Blackboard, and the reading lists at the end of this guide list many additional texts available from the library, and in many cases online. However, to students who do wish to purchase a text, I recommend, Ethical theory: an anthology (2 nd edition) ed. R. Shafer-Landau, Wiley- Blackwell. This doesn’t cover every aspect of the course (and it covers some topics that we do not cover) but it is excellent value – £22.99 at the University branch of Blackwell’s, £23.74 on Amazon – for 82 classic essays, with useful section introductions. The University branch of Blackwell’s should already have copies – if they run out, they can order further copies at short notice. Tom Jenkins, the philosophy buyer at Blackwell’s, is contactable at science.manchester@blackwell.co.uk. Course materials: Further materials will be made available on the courses Blackboard site. Log-in to Blackboard at: https://login.manchester.ac.uk/cas/login Study budget The University’s Academic Standards Code of Practice specifies that a 20 credit course is expected to require about 200 hours work by students. For this course, you are recommended to break this down roughly as follows: Lectures Tutorials Tutorial preparation Essay preparation Exam preparation TOTAL: 10 x 2 = 20 hours 10 hours 10 x 5 hours = 50 hours 40 hours 80 hours 200 hours Prompt arrival at classes Students should note that all lectures and tutorials start on the hour and should end at 50 minutes past the hour. Late arrival for tutorials may result in your being marked absent; if you arrive late it is your responsibility to ensure that your tutor has marked you as present. 4. ASSESSMENT 105
