Planned learning activities and teaching methods | This course is delivered to the students by means of group meetings and individual consultations. The students are expected to work on their chapters from AJER 402 and develop subsequently a research plan in order to explore the issues under discussion in the context of the Cypriot historical experience [chapters 3 and 4] and in order to develop works in various media [radio, film] to present their research. Their work will be evaluated in a presentation to the teaching staff of the department. The presentation will involve both an oral presentation and answers to related questions on the written text, as well as presentation of the film, and of the radio work related to the research. | ||||||
