Learning Outcomes

- The student is able to independently interpret texts presented to him or her and has general insight into the authors and periods studied.

- He or she also has insight into the connection between the texts and their context, and into the structure of the works/series/collections.

- In analyzing the individual texts, the student is able to apply the primary methods for analyzing texts and to explain the proper terms used.

- Additional excercises teach students to find secondary literature and to write analyses in which they can demonstrate that they can discuss texts and situate them in the context of their creation.

Grading

The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
Oral Exam determines 25% of the final mark.
Practical Exam determines 75% of the final mark.

Within the Oral Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:

  • Oral exam with a relative weight of 1 which comprises 25% of the final mark.

    Note: Oral examination with written preparation (min. 15 minutes). Students will not be able to pass the exam if they do not have a thorough command of standard Dutch. The written preparation serves as no more than an aid for the students. They will be asked to submit the unaltered preparation at the end of the exam, but this document will not be accorded a grade.

  • Portfolio with a relative weight of 1 which comprises 75% of the final mark.
