Projects
Proposals for projects should be
submitted by Week 10, if you are
intending to undertake your project during Semester One in the next academic
year (2004-2005). Please visit the WOLF modules: RL3030
Projects in Religious Studies, and also the generic web site ‘Projects and Independent Study in HLSS’.
If your work involves ‘human subjects’, you
need ethics approval. Please obtain the Guide to Ethics from George
Chryssides, or view it electronically at the above web sites.

Assignments —
handing them in
Please remember that assignments can ONLY be handed in at the
Registry access point. They should not be given directly to staff. This is
School policy, which we must adhere to. It ensures that you have a receipt for your
work, and have redress if the assignment goes missing.
The Registry is located in MT Block in Lichfield Street, Wolverhampton —
adjacent to the Grand Theatre (not the MU Building on the opposite side, which
has the University sign above it).
If you cannot get
to the Registry
If you are a PART-TIME student, and cannot get to the university,
Registry will now allow part-time students (not full-time ones — sorry!) to
post assignments in. You must do so by recorded delivery, and indicate clearly
who they are for, and they must arrive BY the due date, not simply be posted on
the deadline. Please keep a copy of your assignment: if it goes astray, you
will be asked for proof of posting and your copy.
Please do not attempt to deliver
assignments in any other way! They should
not be put under doors, offered to colleagues or security staff. They should
also be clearly labelled (module number, component and element).
Please remember also that the Registry normally closes at 17:00 (5 p.m.),
so this is effectively the deadline for your assignment (although students
should not be living so dangerously as to try to get work in so late in the
afternoon). If you miss this deadline, we are afraid that we will NOT relent
and relieve you of it, even if we are in our offices — sorry!
and getting
them back
Assignments will be returned during class sessions. If you cannot attend a
class session, for unavoidable reasons, you need to book a time with your
tutor. Assignments will not be returned at other times.
Do you want to
teach RE?
Students have sometimes told me of difficulties in finding places on PGCE
courses. However, there is actually a substantial shortage of RE teachers, and
there is an active campaign to encourage RS graduates into schools. You can
find information about careers in RE on www.teachre.com
and Culham Institute (who is spearheading this campaign) has sent us a CD-ROM,
which students are welcome to borrow. Please ask at George's office, and I
shall be happy to lend it out to anyone.
