Teaching Methods
The curricular unit works on legal and classroom sessions. Seeking a balance between sessions gain momentum by the teacher, the exposure of theoretical contents, historical or theoretical in nature - literary, such as the importance of timeline or gender, or issues of textual criticism are indispensable when working with a corpus partly transmitted through testimonies manuscripts, with practical sessions. These can be dedicated to a commentary from some literary or critical in nature and reflecting on the themes proposed in the syllabus.
Students are assessed by performing two individual written tests, conducted in the classroom in which should demonstrate knowledge of the works in the syllabus, and recommended critical bibliography, as well as his competence in developing an autonomous text comment from instruments that were supplied to him.
