Unlike most units, we need the details planned in detail well before the start of a trimester. This means you and the supervisor need to have your IGS contract approved, with all details of assessment, reading and direction, locked in BEFORE you enrol in your unit.

Once those details are locked in you can start work, i.e. you begin reading and taking notes on those books you have committed to read. Next, you start work on your assessments. You will normally have an assignment due around week 3-4, or about a third of the way through the study period. This is to make sure that you are making healthy progress, and allow you to get some feedback from your supervisor. From here it is basically the same as any other units – 2-3 pieces of assessment and readings spread through the trimester.
