Teaching methods and learning activities

Theory-practical classes (lectures, reading and discussion of texts and audiovisual materials). The selected texts and audiovisual materials will be discussed in class. Students are required and encouraged to participate in class, by presenting research assignments. From the beginning of October, there will be theory-practical classes and tutorials in which students will discuss the issues already raised in the programme. Tutorials represent about 25% of the teaching time available. In addition to the main reading list, excerpts from the compulsory reading list will be available at the beginning of the semester as organised compilations. Notes on further reading will be handed out in class. Course materials may include written texts and materials other than written texts.
