Content
|
Colloquia tend to have a narrower focus than seminar classes, and the main emphasis is on the discussion and practical application of a limited set of concepts and/or a particular research method, including innovative/exploratory ways of teaching. Being based on a specific research project, this project-based colloquium is significantly more work-intensive than a regular colloquium. |
| Learning outcomes | Students will be able to: (a) define a set of theoretical concepts and/or research methods related to the topic of the colloquium on an advanced level; (b) discuss the usefulness and problems that arise from applying these concepts to particular literary and/or cultural texts (or groups of texts); (c) apply the knowledge gained in the colloquium to a specific research project. |
