Teaching methods

The course will combine lectures and seminar reflections. In the seminar lessons, the student will actively participate, discussing the literary analyzes carried out following the instructions of the teacher and based on their specific interests.

Assessment methods

The exam consists of an oral presentation on the topics of the course, which may include a topic previously agreed with the teacher.Non-attending students will be able to prepare the exam on the basic bibliography indicated in the program including the introductions of the editions of texts.In both cases, the critical synthesis capacity of the reference bibliography will be evaluated, in addition to the expressive properties, in terms of accuracy and appropriateness of language. The global knowledge of the cultural, literary and artistic phenomenon, and the ease in the use of the reference texts to support this vision, will be evaluated as excellence, while a manual competence without interpretative support will be considered with a positive but not high grade. Finally, the proven and repeated difficulty in creating logical and descriptive links between literary texts and the theoretical context will make the evaluation insufficient.

Teaching tools

Educational materials will be available on the virtuale platform.
