Assessment methods
Oral exam focused on the themes explained and demonstrated on obligatory readings, and seminar work. The seminar work is to be based on interpretation and possibly comparison of at least two Estonian literary works. The choice is not limited to the titles from the obligatory readings. It is possible to compare e.g. in terms of genre. In the seminary work there must not be a mere plot or author's CV, if irrelevant to the interpretational frame, i.e. if the interpretation is not based in sociology, psychoanalysis etc.
