This gives you the opportunity to read, reflect and discuss in a smaller group setting from 10-11.00, with fellow students and with me. It is then followed at 11.00-1.00 with the bigger general lecture/etc. settings for everyone in LC005.
If advance reading is not done then there is no point in you attending the 10-11.00 session. Keep in the allocated group.
The material is hyper-linked from the module 'primary sources' page, so just click on the hyper-link and either read on screen or save for subsequent printout. If you get side material getting chopped then cut and paste into a 'Word' document for printout.
What things should you look out for? Have a look generally at what is suggested elsewhere ('Study skills') on handling Texts. Thus you should develop a thoroughness and sensitivity to the following:what is being said, how is it being said, why is it being said, do you agree with it, do you disagree with it, how typical or not typical might it be
