Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Since the classes are mostly theoretical-practical, they will have an eminently theoretical initial part, during which, however, the dialogue with the students is privileged. In a second moment of these classes, the practical work of analyzing literary texts stands out. In a final phase, which also includes the scheduled time of tutorial orientation, the creative productions of the students are read aloud and commented. All this is projected in the criteria of evaluation: the two written tests contain a theoretical part and a section of practical analysis of text (lyrical, in the first test, narrative in the second). The works to be delivered focus on the most creative dimension of the evolution expected to be accomplished by the students in this curricular unit, whether in the form of essays or through the creation of lyrical and narrative texts. And, finally, two values are delivered to active participation in class.
