Constitution not composition for lectures 7 and 8 (3rd and 4th of Feb)

DrJohnDonaldson — 2026-01-28 15:23:46 UTC

Hi folks, contra both my final lecture slide today (28th Jan) and the Moodle update notification today, the next topic is constitution on 3rd and 4th of Feb, not composition. I've hidden the composition section and revealed the constitution section - and sent a new Moodle update notification about the latter. Apologies for any confusion! John

John's office hour/teams time details:

2026-02-02 16:33:12 UTC

I’ll be in my office every Thursday 11am to 12pm if you want to drop by in person (Room 417: 69 Oakfield Avenue) as well as online on Microsoft Teams for 50 mins where you can join me to ask questions or seek help with the course material.

No appointment is required but a heads-up that you’re intending to drop-in would be ideal as it helps me manage numbers etc., especially at busy times!

If the above times are not suitable, email me and I’ll do my best to accommodate.

No Tuesday lecture recordings

2026-02-04 17:58:39 UTC

Hi folks, in updating the links to lecture recordings, I learned that there has been no Echo360 capture of the Tuesday lectures (that unit of the University is unfortunatley woefully understaffed, indeed I can't recall a year where I wasn't aware of some recording issue with at least one philosophy course per term). I apologise on behalf of the University if this has affected you, but do note that Stephan had flagged that recordings are not reliable in the syllabus. Another reason to attend lectures in person, therefore! - John
