Bibliography
Didactic methods
Frontal teaching lessons in English, integrated by filmic material, which will devote time for summing-up and involvment of the attending students.
Students will have to register on the e-learning platform, and check it regularly for updates and supplementary teaching material discussed in class and uploaded on moodle so as to be available and downloadable. The latter contents do not replace the critical material set in the syllabus, they simply complement it.
Students unable to attent classes are required to prepare the exam programme specially prepared for non-attending students (see “Programme”) e to regularly check the course moodle to stay updated as to reading indications and material uoloaded on it. To get further bibliographical explanations they should contact directly the professor in her office hours.
Regularly-attending students in need of recuperating a few missed classes may receive useful indications directly by the professor in her office hours (‘ricevimenti’).
Learning assessment procedures
Oral exam in English.
The exam will principally consist in questions on the primary texts and the contents of taught classes. It will ascertain the students' reading of the scheduled critical bibliography and handbbok.
Non-attending students will be examined on the whole critical bibliography scheduled for them, handbook included (class notes excluded).
All students may be required to read and comment on passages taken from the primary texts, which they are strictly required to take with them at the exam.
Evaluation criteria
Students will have to demonstrate:
-knowledge of the texts set in the syllabus and their contexts
-ability to critically comment on them (by drawing on the notes taken during classes and on the critical material set in the syllabus, resorting to personal elaboration, too)
-knowledge of the main points of postcolonial theory
-use of a language appropriate for discussing literature
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The final grade, awarded on a 30-point scale, will be based on the above-listed criteria.
