Teaching method
Students will be initially divided randomly into groups. Thus, alongside the theoretical and practical presentations done by the teachers, students will be asked to participate, individually or collectively, in discussions of the topics covered: For this purpose, screenplays will be made available prior to classes, to enable a work oriented on recommended readings and the best preparation for the discussion of matters. To facilitate the acquisition of knowledge and, above all, the ability of students to "instrumentalise" new knowledge on the basis of future practical needs will be analyzed content of literary and cinematic character. The evaluation will consist of two essential elements: the assessment of student performance on weekly assignments and a written evaluation element that may be a research paper on a topic of the program or, alternatively, an exam.
