Not set in approved syllabus

The development of the skills suggested in this course is enhanced by teaching methods based on explanatory and active sessions, in which the ability of students to engage in the programmed activities is explored. The evaluation will respect internal regulations, so that students can choose from the following modes: continuous assessment or examination. Continuous assessment will take into account the quality of class participation including the fulfillment of certain tasks. These will contribute to the elaboration of a final dossier including idea, storyline, synopsis, characters’ description and script. The assessment by exam, is to be held at the end of the school year, and will be based on completion of a written test, which will focus on the entire program including the writing of a short script.
