Oral presentation (using audiovisual material and student interaction) designed to transmit knowledge and encourage learning. Presentations of this type are variously referred to as ‘expository method’, ‘guest lectures’ or ‘keynote speeches’. (The term ‘keynote’ refers only to a type of speech delivered on special occasions, for which the lecture sets the tone or establishes the underlying theme; it is characterised by its distinctive content, structure and purpose, and relies almost exclusively on the spoken word to communicate its ideas.) |
| 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. |
