Emphasis will be placed on students' independent work. For each seminar, students will prepare a presentation on assigned texts related to the topic currently under discussion and will be expected to engage in critical discussion of them. Requirements for receiving credit include regular attendance, submission of a written paper, and its approval by the instructor.
An overview of fundamental literary methods, acquiring terminology, the ability to independently elaborate a final seminar work on a given topic.
