The course will be delivered in the form of interactive seminars. The 0.5 hours of discussions after the lecture in each of the sessions will consider questions which participants would have been given after the previous session. These questions will make up an assignment on the issues covered during the session. The assignments will require participants to prepare answers to the questions in outline form only.
