Teaching method
Classes will have a strong practical component. Text reading and analysis, in some cases done by the students, will play an important role. Theoretical moments will be reserved for the literary, cultural and artistic framing of Pessoas work, as well as for the systematizations that will occur following text analysis.
Evaluation method
In what concerns evaluation, the participation of students in classes will be taken into account (20%). The students will also do a written test, in presence, with consultation, corresponding to 40%, and a small research work about a theme that will be agreed upon and that will be supervised by the professor (30%).
