Directed discussion |
When dealing with literature, debating is essential for in-depth analysis and to assimilate contents, as well as to exchange ideas and interpretations. It may take place in the general sessions (D.E. hours, "docencia expositiva" or lecture hours) or in small groups (T.G.R., "titoría grupo reducido"), and it will be the main methodology in the hours assigned to D.I. ("docencia interactiva", Interactive teaching). |
Workbook |
In a literature course, it is essential for each student to take on the responsibility to complete the assigned readings before entering the classroom. In English Literature I, the schedule of readings will be made available both in the classroom and the Moodle platform. It is also each student's responsibility to be up to date on possible changes in the schedule. |
Supervised projects |
Students will complete various written assignments (eg., literary analyses) mostly during class time. Out of the classroom, students will undertake additional tasks, such as reading, reviewing and editing. |
Mixed objective/subjective test |
Students will take a final exam in which they will need to demonstrate their mastery of the theoretical contents introduced in the D.E. classes (large groups) as well as the skills practised in every class, particularly D.I. (mid-size group) and T.G.R. (small group). This exam will consist of two parts (each worth 50% of the grade): I) short questions (definitions of critical terms and periods, identification of excerpts from the texts studied, etc); II) a well-structured written analysis/interpretation of a text (from the reading list) following the guidelines studied throughout the semester. |
Seminar |
In T.G.R. sessions, oral and written presentations will be debated, as it corresponds to this academic field, by paying attention to the interpretations generated by the readings and the resultant learning of D. I. sessions. |
