Assessment methods
1) Test - basic concepts of drama theory and literature theory. The test is performed in the last week of teaching. Successful completion of the test (70% of correct answers) is a condition for taking the exam.
2) Elaboration of an analysis of a selected play by W. Shakespeare in the range of 3-7 ns. The analysis must comply with the parameters of the scholarly work. Student has to upload the text to the IS no later than one week before the regular exam date. I recommend consulting the text with the teacher at least once during the semester.
