You can find some notes here. (The notes are sketchy and aren't a substitute for reading or attending lecture.) Please note that if you are looking for questions for formative essays, I'm happy for you to use the questions/prompts provided here. Some will be very open ended, so you should feel free to develop them in the specific ways that interest you.
NB: I've changed the material from week 4. The initial plan was to have a week on the apriori, but I decided to switch because I thought disagreement would be more enjoyable.
Week 1 - What is Knowledge?
What is Gettier's objection to the JTB analysis of knowledge?
Does knowledge require safety? Sensitivity?
Week 2 - The Regress Problem
Do foundationalists have an effective response to BonJour's doxastic ascent objection?
Week 3 - Internalism vs. Externalism
Week 3 - Internalism vs. Externalism
Goldman [Optional]
Does justification depend upon reliability? If not, should we think of it in internalist terms?
Week 4 - Disagreement
Feldman, R. Epistemological Puzzles aboutDisagreement.
Elga, A.
How to Disagree about How to Disagree.

2010. Not Just a Truthometer: Taking Oneself Seriously (but not TooSeriously) in Cases of Peer Disagreement.
If you discover that a peer disagrees with you about something, what should you do next? Does the discovery of such a peer require you to be conciliatory and suspend judgment or can it be acceptable for you to 'stick to your guns'? Is it possible for a disagreement between you and a peer to be reasonable?
