The final assessment will consist of a written report - with an outline agreed with the professor during the course - on the topics addressed in the course. It must respect the rules of a scientific text: coherent argumentation, specialised vocabulary, para-textual elements (title, index, notes, bibliographical citations and final bibliography). The paper, of approximately 10 pages, excluding the references (TNR 12, single line spacing) must be sent to the lecturer at least ten days before the examination call. Further information will be provided in the first lessons.
