A course at the University of Warwick.
Week 05: Moral Foundations Theory
Commencing Monday 8th February 2021
Seminar Task on yyrama
- Complete and submit your mini-essay at least 24 hours before your seminar in Week 05.
- Complete and submit your peer review at least 24 hours before your seminar in Week 05.
- Check your work for any feedback immediately before the seminar.
- Re-read your work before the seminar (so you can answer questions about it).
- Ensure you can refer back to what you submitted during the seminar.
Note that the seminar tasks are typically on topics from previous weeks’ lectures.
(If you need to attend a different seminar this week, please join that seminar group on yyrama so that your work is read by the right tutor and your tutor knows which seminar to discuss it in.)
Not sure what to do? Check this guide to the seminar tasks (this is the same each week).

Live Online Whole-Class Meeting
- Add messages with your questions before the meeting in the teams channel for the lectures.

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.)
