This page is designed to steer you through the task of completing and submitting coursework for your Imperial Horizons module in the Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) field of study. Imperial Horizons is aimed at developing a range of competencies, many of which you will develop through attending the module.

Preparation

Preparation for classes is essential. On average one hour of preparation time is required for each class, although this will vary across module levels. Students must complete the specified tasks (homework, reading, watching, listening, research, etc.) before each class. You will likely be asked to discuss this material and your ideas in class. 

Session Recording

Horizons HSS online sessions may be recorded and placed securely online for the use of yourself and other students for revision and other work outside of regular teaching hours (‘asynchronous learning’). Students are not permitted to distribute these recordings.
