Lectures, seminars, individual or peer-to-peer exercises. During the course, students will be encouraged to actively engage discussions on relevant topics.
Assessment methods
Evaluation of written and oral exams will be based on the following criteria: (i) knowledge of the course contents; (ii) appropriateness and coherence of the argumentation; (iii) structure of the answers/presentation/written work (clear sections, proper quotations, accurate bibliography/sitography).
Students who demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of the course contents and of the topic of their choice (group presentation/essay-linguistic analysis), who actively participate in the lessons (only for students attending the course), who are logically coherent in their exposition and can problematize notions, will obtain an excellent mark.
To obtain an average mark, students have to demonstrate a good knowledge of most contents of the course and an adequate knowledge of the topic of their choice (group presentation/essay-linguistic analysis).
To obtain a pass mark, students have to demonstrate a basic knowledge of most contents of the course and a good knowledge of the most important aspect of the topic of their choice (group presentation/essay-linguistic analysis).
Each session will offer one date for exams.
