Teaching method
The sessions have a length of 4 hours (3 hours of lecture and 1 tutorial). Except for the first 3 weeks (where class time is entirely taken by content explanation), each session combines content explanation (2:15 pm.) and presentation and discussion of a text by a student (45m.). Supporting materials are of two types of literature: a) texts vital for a proficient presentation and discussion in class; b) optional texts, although their reading can be strongly recommended.
Evaluation method
The evaluation has 3 dimensions: a) presentation and discussion of texts, b) short essay (12 pages maximum), on a subject matter related to the course contents, to be delivered at the end of the semester; c) presentation of this essay, presentation critically discussed by and with the lecturer. The dimenson a) weighs 30% of the final grade, b) 35%, c) 20%. The remaining 15% are held in reserve to evaluate possible participation in the course activities, namely the discussion of papers presented by fellow students.
