NOTES:

·All essay topics and submission dates are set by, or cleared with, supervising professors.

·Supervising professors fully look after their own students in all course matters, e.g., they schedule tutorial times and locations, collect and mark their students’ work etc. Once student work has been submitted and marked/graded, marks are communicated to the course coordinator (ccThomas Besch’sTA, Janus (ZHANG Jian) [cc-d to this email: janus37@126.com]).

·If applicable, supervising professors provide electronic copies of reading materials for their topics/lectures (all electronic copies of these materials go on QQ. QQ group #: 687514267).

·Supervising professors record the names and Student IDs of all of their supervisees and communicate these to the course coordinator for book keeping. Supervising professors should avoid stray students–i.e., students they supervise but have not registered as their students.

·Supervising professors collect electronic copies of submitted student work and if needed (see “possibility” below) forward them to course coordinator.

·If any technical question arises (e.g., student access to QQ, problems with online content, etc.), contact Janus.
