| Scientific and/or communication events |
The main concepts of fiction, and recurrent themes through the 19th and 20th centuries will be presented in class, or on-line, and then exemplified through specified texts, which the students are expected to have read beforehand. |
| Assignments |
Students will be asked to write written commentaries on three or four specified texts. These commentaries will be prepared at home, and either uploaded to Moodle, or written in response to specific questions in class. These maybe be written as group responses to set questions, and specific projects.
Knowledge of set texts may be tested also through oral discussion and short tests. |
| Presentations / oral communications |
Discussions and short presentations of set texts or parts of them may be ascribed to small groups. Depending on the number of students in class, and whether it is finally possible to do these classes in face to face format, this activity may be carried out in smaller or larger groups. The result of the individual /group work will be presented in class, before the whole group, or with just the teacher, forming part of the evaluation process. |
