Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The methodology will follow a Seminar-style approach, involving:
a) Preliminary reading and study of texts;
b) Joint rereading and in-depth analysis of selected passages;
c) Oral presentations, critical and reflective commentary—both personal and based on secondary sources;
d) Discussion, dialogue, and questioning.
Evaluation will be based on two written research papers, each focused on a topic related to one of the course modules (one per module), with each paper accounting for 50% of the final grade. Both evaluation components are mandatory, and failure to complete either will result in the status of “student not evaluated.”
