This course provides a hands-on introduction to the analysis of literary prose (narratology), poetry, drama, theatrical performance and film. The term 'text' is seen in its broadest sense and each teaching team member discusses ways of approaching and analyzing texts in form and meaning.
Extra activity: library visit

The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
Written Exam determines 100% of the final mark.
Within the Written Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:
There are two evaluation moments: a non-compulsory midterm test and an exam. Students who obtain a pass mark (at least 50%) for the midterm test need not study this part of the course material again; their results (40% of the total grade) are automatically retained for the exam. Students who do not participate in or fail the midterm test are (re)examined about this part of the course material during the exam. This applies both to the exam in January and in case students take the exam during the second exam period in August/September.
