Teaching 2022-23

We will have supervisions in person in my office V5ii at Christ’s. I’ve marked its location on this College map. Outside the supervisions, the best way of getting in touch with me is by email js591.

Assignments

Please submit your work into your Micro OneDrive folder by the respective deadline (below). I will mark the work and put it back into your Micro OneDrive folder. Please check your folder just before the start of your supervision.

  • You will get the link to your Micro OneDrive folder by email. Some instructions for using OneDrive are here https://help.uis.cam.ac.uk/one-drive

  • Your submission should be one pdf file, with your name written on your work. Your name should appear in the file name (e.g. HermioneGranger_micro_sup0.pdf)

  • Late work will not be marked.

  • Those who do not submit work forfeit the right to attend the supervision.

  • I encourage you to do the work by hand (because that’s what you’ll have to do for your exam, down the line).

  • I may display some of your work in the supervision and ask you to talk about it. Also, I may use your work in teaching future students, but please let me know if you prefer me not to.

  • Please look over your work before you come to the supervision to remind yourself of the questions and your answers. This way, we can hit the ground running in the supervision.
