Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The theoretical-practical classes will have an initial part that is eminently theoretical, during which, however, dialogue with the students is privileged. In a second moment of these classes, the creative work on the part of the students stands out. In laboratory practices, two fundamental tasks are developed: the in-depth analysis of the lyrical and narrative text, enhancing the dialogue between this work and the students' creations. All of this is projected into the evaluation criteria: the two written tests contain a theoretical part and a practical text analysis part (lyrical, in the first test; narrative, in the second). The assignments to be handed in focus on the more creative dimension of student involvement in this curricular unit, whether in the form of an essay or through the creation of lyrical and narrative texts. And finally, two values are attributed to active participation in class.
