Teaching method
Teaching hours are organised into two components:
1) lectures given by the academic responsible;
2) discussions of selected themes, based on:
a. students presentations of scientific texts, suggested by the academic responsible, related to the themes and aims of the seminar
b. students presentations of their on-going research work, which shall be delivered by the end of the seminar.
Evaluation method
Evaluation includes two elements:
1) individual oral presentations of a scientific text proposed on the program of the seminar followed by the delivery of a written critic of the text (40% of the final mark);
2) individual written essay, either a critical bibliography review or an original research based on primary sources (60% of the final mark).
Active participation in the classes is an additional positive element of consideration for the determination of the final mark.
