Teaching method
The teaching methodology is mainly reflexive and oriented towards the issues which make up the contents of the seminar. The students will be supervised (individually or in small groups) during the writing of the final research paper.
Evaluation method
Assessment will focus on three main elements: 1) participation in the analysis and discussion of texts and tasks (15%); 2) written presentation of a short research paper, individual or in small groups (50%); 3) oral presentation and discussion of the written paper (35%).
