Commencing Monday 11th January 2021
Sign Ups
- sign up for a Moral Psychology weekly seminar group on tabula
- note the name of your seminar leader on the seminar you signed up for on tabula, and the time of your seminar
- register yourself on yyrama
- tell yyrama which seminar group you are in (and please remember update yyrama if you change seminar group)
Please register with your university email and the name your seminar tutor will know you by (so that they will know what work you have done each week).
Please make a note of your yyrama and zoxiy passwords: if you lose them, there’s no way to recover them.
Seminar Task on yyrama
There is no seminar in Week 01.
You may want to start the seminar task for the following week, which will be due at least 24 hours before your seminar. (You can review the list of seminar tasks here.)
Recorded Lectures
- Make use of the Lecture 01 recordings and notes.
Not sure what to do with the lectures? Check this guide to using lectures.
Live Online Whole-Class Meeting
- Add messages with your questions before the meeting in the teams channel for the lectures.
- Attend the meeting on Thursday at 12 (link to join).
If you miss the meeting, there may be a recording of it in the lecture materials. (No promises: there might be occasional issues which prevent or corrupt a recording.)
Assessed work to submit
There is no assessed work due this week, I think. (But to be sure, please check on tabula as this is the only authoritative source for deadlines.)
