Students will have to write an essay on a literary topic transversally dealt by Greek and Latin authors. The following is an indicative list of topics that could be addressed:
Proposed topics:
Classroom activities will be divided into two categories:
1. Reading and interpreting literary themes and topics. This activity will be carried out with the support of an anthology of Greek and Latin texts that will serve as a starting point for the explanation and the commentary of the formal and thematic characteristics of each of the literary genres included in the course program. The anthology will be uploaded in Campus Virtual.
2. Participation in the classroom activities.
In addition, the student will have to carry out an essay for which s/he will have to participate in tutorials that will be considered supervised activities for the choice of the topic (see Content section) and the choice of texts that will be object of study.
The accomplishment of the competences of the subject will be achieved largely with the autonomous work of each student, that will be oriented to:
1. The preparation of the essay on a literary topic.
2. Complementary texts reading, both of classic authors as well as modern bibliography on the themes and works studied.
Given that numerous scientific studies show that reading on paper improves the understanding and memorization of the contents, while facilitating critical reflection, it is strongly recommended that all the materials available on the Virtual Campus are printed and that the activities and exercises are always work on paper. On the other hand, the use of digital devices (tablets or computers) and mobile phones in the classroom will be restricted to teaching activities and always at the request of the teaching staff.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
