Teaching methods
The course is taught as a series of lectures demonstrating critical work with dramatic texts of various styles. In the form of practical examples the case studies apply theoretical knowledge acquired by individual study to critical analysis proper. The lectures are interactive, expecting students' participation and an active involvement in the discussed examples.
Assessment methods
The course consists of a lecture series with seminar discussions of textual examples. The assessment is based on the final written test, consisting of two questions: one is theoretical (explaining and illustrating individual terms), the other is practical (critical analysis of the text provided). This is the second part of a two-term cycle.
