1) At the second course, the students will receive a book to analyse
2) According to instructions specified with this meeting, each group will read the book, will analyze it and will discuss it to make sure of its common comprehension. Then, individually, each student will establish a critical report, re-contextualized in comparison with the data of the course. The goal being to establish a maximum of link between the reality of the book and the course. This report of 6-8 pages (Times 10, interval 1.5) will be send to the "Secretariat", at least, the first day of the session
CONTENTS: Two parts
a) Synthesis of the work emphasizing the essential ideas. (3-4 pages)
The synthesis must be a personal reappropriation by the student of the book. It is not a simple summary. The student put his own main idea, starting from a religious or ethical question particular which it will have chosen, neglecting consequently (by justifying it) what is marginal with its problems.
b) Critical of the ideas of the book. (3-4 pages)
In criticism, the student must utilize the following elements: 1) Recontextualization of the text compared to the course, and mainly to the various religious traditions. 2) Personal standpoint about the ideas and posiions of the book; 3) In order to supporting its criticism (positive or negative), link with the course or external informations like other readings, other lessons, web sites, reports televised or radios; the recourse to these materials must of course be justified with some infrapaginal notes.
3) The student will defend his personal paper during an oral examination of 15 '. Its comprehension of the book, and its standpoint will be subjected to a first series of questions. In the second time, the student will answer a short complementary question (and possibly a second) only related to the matter of the course.
