Teaching method
The classes will be theoretical and practical and they will try to ally a reflection around the questions that Text puts, in way to confront actively the students with different text conceptions and with options of analysis caused by the different theoretical perspectives.
Evaluation method
Participation and oral presentation (on a text) 30%; work elaboration with structure to be conceived by each student and validated by the professor. This work will include a theoretical and methodological part and other one leaves from development of a subject (70 %).
