(in Polish) Proseminarium indologiczne 3600-7-IN2-PI(L)
The pro-seminar is designed to develop and deepen the knowledge of the fundamental aspects of literary and socio-cultural phenomena of South Asia acquired during the first year of study, as well as to enhance students’ skills in analysing and synthesising these phenomena. This objective is pursued, first, through the student’s independent work on a topic selected by the student and approved by the instructor (the topic may also be proposed by the instructor) and through the regular presentation of the results of this work to all seminar participants at predetermined intervals; and second, through the reading, analysis, and interpretation of texts selected by the instructor
