Teaching method
The curricular unit consists of a theoretical component, in which students are taught theoretical knowledge, and an individual work component, in which students analyze a work of literature which is presented orally and discussed in the classroom.
Evaluation method
The assessment consists of two written tests on the theoretical component (80%) and the analysis of a literature work provided to them on the synthesis of a compound that students should develop in a short presentation in theoretical classes (20%).
