None
Teaching Methods
The learning objectives will be achieved through 68 lecture hours. Students are expected to participate in the discussions and analysis of additional materials (documents short videos, films, and images) provided by the lecturer. Attending students will be offered the opportunity to prepare (as an alternative to the study of one of the reference texts of the monographic part) a final output to be presented in class orally at the end of the course (which will be assessed). The output consists in a 10-to-15-slides powerpoint file on a topic to be chosen in agreement with the lecturer. All those who have attended 50% minimum of the class hours are considered attending students.
Assessment Methods
The final examination consists of a four-question oral test, graded in thirtieths, which will be structured as follows:
1) two questions aimed at verifying the knowledge of the contents related to the reference texts of the first part of the course.
2) two questions aimed at verifying knowledge of the contents relating to the reference texts of the second part.
The grade for the oral test (evaluated in thirtieths) will take into account the accuracy and quality of the answers (60%), as well as the communicative ability and the ability to adequately motivate statements, analyses and judgements shown during the interview (40%). Attending students who have submitted their final paper in class (which will also be assessed) will have to answer three questions relating to the reference texts indicated, excluding one of the two volumes of the second part. The minimum mark for passing the test is 18/30.
