NOTE Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information given in this publication. The information is extracted from the Academic Database, which itself is updated by academic departments via the Unit Maintenance System. Following the initial download of unit/module information in August, departments are given an opportunity to amend the data up until the end of the first week in September. The information provided is accurate at the time of going to print.

Thereafter, every effort is made to keep advisory staff at the Unrestricted Module Enrolment Event informed of further changes made by academic departments to the list of modules, their availability, and to the teaching timetable.

1. Purpose and Content

This Guide is intended to support staff from academic departments with advising Level One students on their choice of unrestricted modules during Intro Week. This Guide will be available to staff from academic departments at the Unrestricted Module Enrolment Event in the Octagon Centre on Tuesday 18 September and Wednesday 19 September.

The information in this Guide is correct and current at the time of going to print. Late changes may be made by Departments to the list of modules, their availability and to the teaching timetable. Such changes are reflected on the websites which are regularly updated. In order to assist with this, please ensure that all the information held on the Unit Maintenance System (UMS) is accurate and up to date. Please ensure also you have the latest information by referring to the relevant website(s) - see below for website links.

2. Guidance for Staff Advising Level One Students at the

Unrestricted Module Enrolment Event during Intro Week

Staff should note that new students will have attended an Introductory Academic Meeting (also sometimes referred to as Departmental Welcome Meeting) with the department or departments responsible for their chosen programme of study. Students are likely to have been given some advice on, and may have been directed to, certain modules, or modules in certain subject-areas or departments, as providing a good choice of unrestricted study for their course.

In advising students, staff at the Unrestricted Module Enrolment Event should: 1. ensure they are clear as to the number of unrestricted modules they need to select; 2. verify whether they have been given advice by their department as to a specific

choice of modules, and ensure students know where to access the Regulations for their degree programme;

3. ensure students understand they need a full 120 credit load by the time they leave the Unrestricted Module Enrolment Event;

4. direct them to the module loading area, where their newly approved unrestricted modules will be recorded on to their student record before they proceed to register at Goodwin;

5. advise them of the ADD/DROP period, explaining that it is an opportunity to request changes to their module selection, and that any changes must be requested/notified to Registry Services by Friday 12 October 2012.

3. Important Information for Level One Students at the Unrestricted Module Enrolment Event

The following are some key points of advice which staff may wish to use in advising students attending the Module Enrolment Event. Students should:

1. have checked their course Regulations before making their choice of unrestricted modules. The Regulations can be found at: http://www-online.shef.ac.uk:3001/live/owa/web_cal.cal_fac_form?p_year=2012

2. have made a note of the module code (e.g. ACST123) for each of the core or restricted modules in their Course Regulations, noting the lecture teaching timetable for each as this will form their core personal timetable;

3. come to the Unrestricted Module Enrolment Event knowing how many credits they have yet to choose through unrestricted modules to make up to a full 120 credit load;

4. aim to select modules which make up a full and balanced load of 60 credits per Semester;

5. be aware of the duration of the teaching for the unrestricted modules under consideration, noting where the teaching is for a full academic year, for one Semester only and if so, which whether it is in the Autumn or Spring Semester, or less than a Semester (e.g. 6 weeks);

6. understand that places are limited, and that some modules are very popular with students (staff advisors at the Unrestricted Module Enrolment Event will be kept apprised of changes to, and availability of, modules);

7. be aware of which modules have pre-requisites; 8. be aware that, in the case of modules with co-requisites, they must choose the co-

requisite module in the same academic year; 9. note that the teaching timetable is subject to change and that late changes will be

communicated online at: http://www-online.shef.ac.uk:3001/pls/live/web_tt.main

10. that they have a three week period, known as ADD/DROP, in which to make changes to their choice of modules (excluding core modules). The ADD/DROP period in Semester One this academic session ends on Friday 12 October. If they have any queries relating to their initial choice of modules, they should raise these with staff in their academic department(s).

- 1 -

AAP107 The Origins of Humanity

20.00 Credits AUTUMN

Aims/Description: This module aims to introduce students to the study of human evolution and stone age (palaeolithic) archaeology. It begins by considering our place in Nature as a primate, and then examines the evidence for our divergence from the ancestors of modern apes between 6-10 million years ago. It then documents our emergence as an African bipedal, tool-making carnivore, and the evidence for when our ancestors first inhabited Asia and Europe. The Neanderthal enigma, and origins of fully modern humans are also covered. The latter part of the module examines the evidence for the fully-modern, hunter-gatherer societies of the last ice age, the eary postglacial and up to when some of them began to develop agricultural societies around 8-10,000 years ago.

Teaching Methods: Lectures, Tutorials, Independent Study

Assessments: Formal Exam, Course work

AAP108 World Civilisations

20.00 Credits SPRING

Aims/Description: The popular image of archaeology is captured by the fictional Indiana Jones in his search for the lost secrets of ancient civilisations. This module explores some of the most famous early civilisations, including Mesopotamia, Egypt, and classical Greece and Rome in the Old World, and the Inca, Maya and Aztecs in the New World. Similarities and differences in the development of these civilisations are evaluated, as are the contentious roles of colonisation, diffusion, trade and world systems. The classic civilisations are placed in a wider context by looking at human cultures as diverse as Zimbabwe, the Plains Indians and Australian Aborigines. In conclusion, the module discusses the relationship between the decline of European colonialism and changing understandings of what it may have meant to be 'civilised'.

AAP110 Classical World and Its Legacy


Aims/Description: Greco-Roman classical civilisation (particularly the 'high' culture of art, architecture, literature and political institutions) has long been seen as the inspiration for, and yardstick against which to judge, modern European culture. The rich and varied evidence of modern archaeology is used to explore how this high culture was supported and experienced by ordinary people. The module will consider the nature of Early Iron Age Greece and its Bronze Age background, the nature of its colonies in the Mediterranean, and the development of the Athenian Empire. The exploration of Italy will begin with the Iron Age peoples of the Italian peninsula, following on to trace the rise of Rome and her empire in the East and the West. The late Roman Empire will be examined with reference to the rise of Christianity and other eastern religions, and this will be traced through to the Early Medieval Period in Europe. The role of Islam in the formation of Europe, and the dissemination of Islamic culture, will be considered. The module will conclude by exploring the place of the Classical world in both modern Europe and the New World.

HST114 Pagans, Christians and Heretics in Medieval Europe


Aims/Description: One of the recurring themes in European history between the 4th and 13th centuries is the relationship between power and religion. In the period 300 - 1000, the dominant issue was the conversion of societies from paganism a term which covers a whole range of beliefs from the elaborate cults of the Roman Empire to the sacred trees of the German forests to Christianity, with its exclusive belief in one God and no other. The first part of this module aims to examine from a comparative perspective how and why this fundamental transformation occurred, considering both missionary activity and responses to it and attempting to assess the impact of Christianity upon the societies to which it spread. The second part of this course will examine the changing relationship between power and religion between 1000 and 1400, as the Roman Church became the most powerful institution in Europe and exerted an ever stronger influence over the lives of ordinary people, and new religious orders and ways of life emerged. The period witnessed the persecution of heresy as well as greater hostility to Latin Christianity's neighbours, most dramatically in the Crusades and other holy wars waged not only against Muslims but also against Greek Christians, pagans, heretics and even the Church's political enemies.

HST119 The Transformation of Britain, 1800 to the Present



- 21 -

Aims/Description: This module explores the central political, social, economic, cultural and diplomatic developments that have transformed Britain since 1800. Unlike most of its European neighbours, Britain did not experience dramatic moments of revolution, constitution-building, invasion or military defeat; indeed the belief that the nation was set on a course of gradual evolutionary progress was central to many versions of British identity. This course examines how, when and why change occurred in Britain. Key themes include the transition to mass democracy; the impact of industrialisation; shifts in social relationships based on class, gender and ethnicity; and the rise and fall of Britain as an imperial power.

PHI107 Philosophy of Religion


Aims/Description: There are two large questions typically considered by philosophers of religion. First, is there any good reason to believe that God exists? Second, are there reasons to think that the concept of God makes no sense? In this course we consider both questions. For the first question we look at two standard arguments for the existence of God: the Argument from Design and the First Cause Argument. As regards the second question, we consider the Problem of Evil: whether the existence of God, as generally conceived, is consistent with the existence of evil.

PSY105 Synthetic Psychology


Aims/Description: Traditional, analytic approaches in psychology address the problem of the mind/brain by analyzing existing intelligent systems (humans and animals) using

controlled experiments. However, this difficult task has recently been complemented by synthetic approaches that operate in the opposite direction¿trying to understand the mind/brain by building artificial systems, such as robots and computer programs, that exhibit intelligence of their own. Students will be shown how these analytic and synthetic approaches can work together to advance the understanding of the mind and brain. The course will be organised around the question of what progress that has been made so far in the quest to build humanoid robots that are able to match human perceptual, behavioural, cognitive and social abilities. Questions to be highlighted include: Can robots think? Could an artificial humanoid have feelings, consciousness, or free will? What can be learned by trying to answer these questions about the human mind and our own conscious experience?

Restrictions: maximum of 40 students only.

Teaching Methods: Lectures, Laboratory work


PSY106 Memory, Skill and Everyday Life

Do you forget half the things you are told? Do you know someone suffering from amnesia? Do you think you remember things and then find out they never happened? Do you think that people who have better memories do better in exams? Would you like a better memory? If so, how do you go about getting one? Do you want to know how children can turn into world class performers? What are your strengths and how can you work to them? This module will attempt to answer these questions for you. In the course of lectures and a practical class we will be talking about how well children recall events they have experienced, how the courts in the UK assess the reliability of witnesses, what makes people fantasise, what makes people forget, how people develop skills, and the best strategies for recalling new information.
