It also has a number of databases for primary sources. Please consult the library’s history databases at:

c) A number of the primary resources students will use in their coursework can be found online, including:
London Lives, http://www.londonlives.org/
Old Bailey Online, http://www.oldbaileyonline.org/
National Library of Scotland, http://digital.nls.uk/broadsides/index.html
Google Books: http://books.google.com/

Lectures: There will be a one-hour lecture each week (two in week one), providing students with an overview of the major debates in the historiography, as well as key pieces of information or nuances that are essential to their understanding of the topic. The purpose of lectures is to provide a synthesis of the field to provide a context for their personal reading on the topic and to help draw their attention to complexities within the debates in the field that will aid them to articulate different viewpoints and debate during tutorial discussions. Learning during lectures will be encouraged through providing break points where students can ask questions, as well as the use of appropriate multimedia learning aids.

Workshops: Immediately following the weekly lecture (apart from week 1) will be a large-group workshop that will introduce students to a particular source or methodology used by eighteenth-century historians, and allow discussion of the implications for how we create history. This will involve a demonstration portion, due to the large class size, but also interactive activities, such as group work, question and answer sessions, and opportunities (where possible) to try out new approaches to explore how they work. Through what is learned in workshops, students shall be prepared to complete the research task portion of the assessment

Tutorials: Students will participate in a small group tutorial once a week. Tutorials operate on the principle that exploring new ideas with peers, and particularly having to articulate new knowledge, consolidates learning and allows students to develop their thoughts through appropriate discussion and debate. Tutorials will allow students to test their understanding of their reading and what they have learned from lectures. Discussion and debate will be encouraged, and learning appropriately directed, through the provision of appropriate discussion questions, as well as resources (such as primary sources). Tutorials will help prepare students for the essay writing part of the assessment through giving them an opportunity to explore their ideas and practice argumentation.

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

The time commitment for this course is a standard minimum of 156 hours over the course of the semester. This comprises formal contact time: lectures, tutorials and workshops and individual study, research, reading and writing time. 

14 hours of lectures over weeks 1 to 12 (1 x1 hour in weeks 2-12 and 2 hours in week 1 and 12)	14 hours
9 hours of workshops over weeks 2 to 11 (1 x 1 hour in weeks 2 to 11, excluding week 5)	9 hours
1 x 1 hour class test in week 5	1 hour
1 x 1 hour of tutorials over weeks 1 to 12	12 hours
1 x 3 hours of preparing for examination over weeks 1 to 4	12 hours
1 x 3 hours of research per week	36 hours
1 x 3 hours of assignment preparation each week	36 hours
1 x 3 hours of prescribed reading per week	36 hours
Total	156 hours

Thus, it is expected that students will spend three contact hours on the course and a minimum of seven hours in individual study per week. In general, your weekly workload includes attendance at two lectures/workshops and one tutorial per week, carrying out the weekly readings, otherwise preparing to participate in your tutorials, working on your assessment tasks, and general reading on the subject area.

Please note that it is the student’s responsibility to check the assessment tasks and organise their time effectively over the course of the semester.

a) Participation in tutorials is compulsory and students must attend at least 80% of them to pass the course. If you cannot attend your tutorial, please let your tutor know in advance – it might be possible to ‘make-up’ the class at another time later in the week. If you miss a tutorial, it may be possible to attend another tutorial that week or to provide extra written responses to the week’s discussion questions.

b) Five minute talk - see below for details.

1) Assessment: Tutorial attendance, presentation & participation

Rationale: Tutorials provide a key opportunity for students to demonstrate and consolidate their learning on Georgian Britain, and rely on students fully participating and working together towards small-group discovery. Attendance is compulsory but 10% of their grade is provided here to encourage them to prepare for class each week and fully participate, which in turn ensures that each member contributes equally towards their shared group learning experience.

2) Assessment: Five minute talk

Rationale: Once during the semester, each student will have to prepare and present a five minute talk to the seminar group on that week’s topic. The presentation is compulsory but does not count towards the final grade. It provides students an opportunity to develop presentation skills, and to demonstrate and consolidate their knowledge of the topic through testing their ideas on their peers. They will also receive formative feedback in oral form from their tutor during class. Students will be encouraged to select a topic related to their final historiographical essay to provide them with formative feedback on that topic.

3) Assessment: Class Test

Rationale: There will be a 1 hr class test in week 5. Students will be required to answer two questions. The questions will be based on the material covered in lectures and tutorials up until that point. This will allow students to demonstrate their knowledge of the historiographical debates on this topic, to practice forming an argument and developing their skills at essay writing in exam conditions. Feedback from this exam will provide students with guidance on their successful attainment of knowledge of the topic and on structuring essays. 

3) Assessment: Source and Methodology Essay

Rationale: In this essay, students will describe and then analyse a particular group of sources and related methodological approach used by historians of Georgian Britain – either from those taught during workshops or from their independent reading. They will assess how their chosen sources and the uses they were put to shaped the type of history that is written and the benefits and limitations of this approach. Through this review, students will have the opportunity to reflect on the way that sources and methodology shape the type of history that is written, providing them with a deeper understanding of the nature of historical practice. In addition, they will be able to develop their analysis and argumentation skills through assessing the value of the approach they have chosen and their writing skills in producing a written report. Learning will be reinforced through feedback on the assessment.

4) Assessment: Historiographical Essay

Rationale: Through their research essay, students will demonstrate their understanding of the historiographical literature and debates in the field, their ability to assess their reading critically and to create and support an argument with evidence from their reading. It will also provide them with the opportunity to further practice their writing and referencing skills. Students will be able to develop their own essay question, but it will be expected that their essay reflects on the nature of change in Georgian Britain and draw on the material learned in lectures and directed reading.

All assignments are to be submitted electronically via MyUni—this is a two-step process.

1) The assignment needs to be electronically submitted for marking via the ‘Assignments’ link in the course menu.
2) It then needs to be submitted separately to Turnitin, which is also done via the MyUni site.

It is also vital that you complete the details concerning the name of your tutor and tutorial
time, AND, where appropriate, provide the essay question number and topic you are answering. We require this information to pass your assignment on to the relevant marker.

Assignments are due by midnight ending the date of submission.

Extensions
Extensions will be given on the grounds of hardship or illness at the discretion of the course coordinator or, for short extensions, tutor. If, as often happens, several essays are due close to each other, you should plan your schedule so that you complete one or more before the deadline.

The procedure for applying for an extension varies, according to the length of extra time required. Your tutor can grant you up to an additional two days, if they consider you have
good reason for this additional time. But, if you require longer, you will need to complete
the following form, and submit it to the School of History and Politics office (Level 4, Napier
Building). Link for forms (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/student/exams/mod_arrange.html)

Late Penalties
Students who submit an essay late, without having gained an extension, will be liable to a
penalty of 2 marks per day that the essay is overdue, including weekends, for a maximum of
two weeks. Unless special arrangements have been made, essays more than two weeks late
may not be accepted, and will automatically be eligible for a pass or fail grade only.

Feedback
Coursework and appropriate feedback will be available for collection by students after a fortnight. Coursework and feedback can be collected from tutors during office hours.
