The final written test will consist of the analysis of a text from the approaches developed during the course and two questions on the subject of the agenda. The first will measure the ability to interrelate the formal, content and pragmatic aspects present in the text. The questions will measure the knowledge about authors, works and / or genres.
During the course two papers related to the subject may be presented, agreed with the teacher, which will complement the evaluation.

In each of the topics and sections the teacher will make an exposition with the main lines of the approach and a practical application to a text, from which guidelines will be drawn for its application by the students. In the following session they will complete the study with a practical and active application to the previously proposed text, which will be discussed in class.
