Teaching method

Students are expected to undertake preparation for each seminar session and have read the respective proposed texts in order to be able to engage in collective discussions in accordance with the doctoral level seminar framework.
Students are also to produce short texts (of no more than 2/3 pages) that apply a particular method for the analysis of an object/specific theme.
At the end of the seminar, students deliver a 5-8 page research proposal summarising the methodologies they consider most appropriate to their own research project.

Evaluation method

Evaluation is based upon the short weekly texts - 50%, the research proposal - 20%, classroom presentations - 15 % and classroom participation - 15%.
