Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Lessons assume an expository character on the different points that constitute the syllabus. It is are also held sessions to discuss articles and other texts dedicated to the theoretical scope of the UC, which require prior reading. At the same time, texts of different typologies and discursive genres are analysed, with the aim to lead students to recognize different linguistic-discursive strategies.
Assessment will result from the completion of the following tests:
- First class question: written exercise proposing the critical analysis of a textual production – April 24, 2026 (5 points)
- Second class question: written exercise proposing the critical analysis of a textual production – May 8, 2026 (5 points)
