The course focuses on the understanding of the phenomenon of art in general and fiction in particular, issues of genealogy, poetics of a literary work, the unity of its form and content, the most general laws of the development of literature, and typology of artistic phenomena (literary styles, trends, streams, schools, groups), current issues of the modern literary process and its theoretical reception. The discipline ends in a pass/fail credit.

The major activities that engage students and provide evidence to assess their performance are: answers at practical sessions, a team/individual project, a progress test paper, and an end-of-course test paper. For the performance in these activities, a student can score max. 100 and min. 60 points. A detailed description of activities and formative assessment is presented in the course curriculum posted on the official website of the Educational and Scientific Institute of Philology.

Assessment A student’s final grade is based on a 100-point grading system. The total score is made up of the scores earned for the performance during the term (max. 100, min. 60 points).
