THE ART OF ADAPTATION: FROM PAGE TO SCREEN

Part of the course which concerns the study of cinema is taught audiovisually in a a/v teaching room. Course teaching material is offered in an electronic platform (eclass.auth.gr) Student communication is conducted through the internet as well.

There is only a final written exam as the overall student evaluation method. Students are asked to write a critical essay and they are assessed on their knowledge of the topics as well as on their critical thinking and their writing abilities. Take-home may be given on special cases in arrangement with the teacher. Evaluation terms are included in the course syllabus
