Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Classes always acquire a theoretical-practical aspect, analyzing texts provided or suggested by the teacher, listening to songs, commenting. In all syllabus contents, the teacher encourages the pertinent participation of the students and the exposition of ideas between them. The evaluation criteria are discussed at the beginning of the semester: it includes the completion of a monographic research work of 10 pages (15 values maximum), followed in a tutorial by the teacher in the last classes, in progressive autonomy of the student, with oral presentation (3 values maximum). The student's attendance and active participation in classes are also taken into account in the final grade of the UC (2 values ??max.). The vast bibliography provided at the beginning of the semester serves as a starting point for autonomous research.
