Teaching method

Theoretical explanations about the syllabus items by the professor (lectures).
Compulsory readings of the main texts by students on a regular basis.
In each class there is a time for open, although organized, discussion about the different issues dealt.

Evaluation method

The complete evaluation combines the student’s performance during the classes’ development with a final essay written by the student. The content of the essay is discussed with the teacher, before and after its writing by the student.
