Since this is the first module, here’s a reminder that the readings (or sometimes other media) in each module are categorised as
- Essential (read all of these)
- Recommended (read if you want to go deeper)
- Extra (only read if you’re interested/have previous background; these readings may be challenging and can be considered beyond the scope of the course)
Only material in the essential readings is directly examinable, but the other readings may help you make the connections that get higher marks.
