Teaching methods
The students will deepen their knowledge of literature for young people and develop their interpretive skills in a seminar form (analysis and interpretation of selected works). Seminar work requires preparation (individual reading of selected titles in the field of youth literature).
Assessment methods
Active participation in seminars (1 absence tolerated) and a continuous test (social and literary historical context) are prerequisites for admission to the examination. More detailed topics for the exam are published in the IS in the first week of the semester. The prerequisites for passing the exam are knowledge of the historical context (at least at the level of a high school graduate) and the literary-historical context of national and world literature, as well as the ability to interpret literary works on the basis of one's own reading (see the list of required readings). Completion: written examination (in the form of a coherent answer to an open-ended question on the history of literature for young people and a written interpretation of one of the required reading titles).
