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.
From a scientific-pedagogical perspective, the teaching method will adopt, in both modules, an alternating sequence between theoretical sessions conducted by the teachers in an expository format and monitored reading sessions, which will be prepared and presented autonomously by students in a collaborative context.
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”.
