For the assessment criteria for PHIL <strong>course</strong> units, see the Philosophy Study Guide (available<br />
online at: http://www.socialsciences.manchester.ac.uk/intranet/ug/handbooks/ which also<br />
provides further guidance concerning the assessment criteria.<br />
MID-TERM TEST<br />
An optional mid-term test (non-assessed) will be <strong>of</strong>fered in the lecture notes. Answers are<br />
available in an appendix. This provides additional formative feedback for the <strong>course</strong>.<br />
EXAMINATION<br />
One three-hour exam will be set at the end <strong>of</strong> semester one, in which you must answer ALL<br />
questions. This provides all <strong>of</strong> your assessment for the <strong>course</strong>.<br />
Past Exam Papers can be found on the Blackboard site for this <strong>course</strong>.<br />
Feedback<br />
The <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Social</strong> <strong>Sciences</strong> (SoSS) is committed to providing timely and appropriate<br />
feedback to students on their academic progress and achievement, thereby enabling<br />
students to reflect on their progress and plan their academic and skills development<br />
effectively. Students are reminded that feedback is necessarily responsive: only when a<br />
student has done a certain amount <strong>of</strong> work and approaches us with it at the appropriate fora<br />
is it possible for us to feed back on the student's work. The main forms <strong>of</strong> feedback on this<br />
<strong>course</strong> are verbal feedback responses to tutorial work and exam answers.<br />
We also draw your attention to the variety <strong>of</strong> generic forms <strong>of</strong> feedback available to you on<br />
this as on all SoSS <strong>course</strong>s. These include: meeting the lecturer/tutor during their <strong>of</strong>fice<br />
hours; e-mailing questions to the lecturer/tutor; asking questions from the lecturer (before<br />
and after lecture); presenting a question on the discussion board on Blackboard; and<br />
obtaining feedback from your peers during tutorials.<br />
