| Methodologies | Description |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | In these lectures (DE or ”docencia expositiva”), the teachers will refer to a) the socio-historical and cultural background of authors and readings; b) the theoretical concepts behind postcolonial studies; c) ways to read critically and make good use of postcolonial theories. |
| Directed discussion | Students will be encouraged to discuss and express their opinions on a given topic, orally and in writing. Class discussions may complement lectures in the DE class, but they will be carried out mostly during the DI sessions. |
| Long answer / essay questions | Students will write two essays (a midterm and a final) based on the contents presented in the DE sessions and some of the texts discussed in the DI sessions. |
| Mixed objective/subjective test | This type of test will assess the student's ability to understand and approach a literary text critically by asking questions about those texts analyzed throughout the course. In addition, students will have to prove that they have grasped the main postcolonial issues and theoretical concepts, and that they can apply them to literary texts. |
