Evaluation methods and criteria

Credit is awarded based on:

class participation,
attendance (75%),
a course paper, discussed in colloquium.

The student will attempt to respond to questions formed by themselves; the response should be supported by a greater view of some covered topics (personality, examples), one's own study of the subject literature and complimentary samples in theatre practice (at best, in live theatre which they and other students know, possibly also video).

Note

For 2nd year students.
