The class will be divided into groups of approximately ten students each. Each group will meet weekly during the year. There will be a staff organiser and a staff 'expert' at each meeting. The staff organiser for each group will chair each meeting, at which one of the group will give a 30 to 40 minute prepared talk on a chosen topic, to be followed by a structured discussion. To lead this discussion, some other members of the group will have prepared suitable questions for discussion. The rest of the group will, of course, actively participate in the discussion. Topics will be chosen by a small staff panel, with a named staff expert for each topic. Each member of the group will give one talk, and will participate in leading a discussion. Attendance at each talk in the group is compulsory.
