Teaching Methods
The teaching provided in the curricular unit is based on two methodological approaches: - in face-to-face classes: sessions of an expositive nature on the structuring contents of the curricular unit; discussion sessions and deepening of the knowledge with the participation of the students, supported in readings and previous researches; sessions of the work in progress. In the face-to-face sessions, priority is given to the use of dialogue and debate on the issues raised by dramatic writing in the periods analyzed; - in the research work, it is requested to perform syntheses of the subjects (constitution of personal or group archives) integrated in the participation in the face-to-face classes; the bibliographic resources available in specialized libraries or sites or in databases are privileged.
The student can choose continuous evaluation or the final exam.
