This year, the only new module I ran was my ‘dates’ module. At Lancaster, we are still running on terms, and the first years have a short course after Easter that is only three weeks long, centred around a significant date in history and intended to do some in depth source analysis. There are only a few of these modules running every year, and I was asked last year to put one together. The date I picked was 1517 – Reformation. I deliberately chose something non-British, and of course picked something early modern. I’m also going to be honest – I also picked this because it didn’t require me to do as much work as many of the other dates I could have chosen! Dates modules are taught through two lectures in the first week, and then a two hour workshop in each of weeks 2 and 3. They are then assessed through two source analyses, or as they are often called, gobbets. It seemed to be quite successful, and I think most of the students enjoyed it as much as I did.
