Final exam (oral): students will prepare the short texts (poems, stories, novel extracts and essays) available on the IOL platform, which will be discussed in class in student-led seminars, and must demonstrate general competences about the cultural and historical phenomena addressed throughout the course.
In addition, they will prepare three full books, one for each of the blocks of the subject (see above)
