For the final exam, each student will select their own “path”, combining the argumentative reference materials with three creative materials of their choice, according to their own preferences and interests. Students select the three creative materials from the course list; if they wish, they can ask for one of the three to be replaced by a work proposed by them. Such proposal must be submitted and approved by the course instructor at least two weeks before the exam. Any changes or updates to the course reference materials will be announced during classes and on the course’s virtual spaces
