Course Details
The aim of this literary journey through Italy, England, France, and Germany is to highlight some major works of Western European literature as well as to discover the different conceptions of marriage, love, and the family from the Renaissance to the mid/late-eighteenth-century. Its focuses include historical considerations such as the rise of the individual and the status of women, as well as theoretical ones such as the influence of literature and the social reality on each other.

CONCL
Draw conclusion(s) from your observations

RELEVCE
Explain the relevance of your remark(s)

RELATE
Relate your remark(s)/point(s) to your argumentation

CONCL RELEVCE & RELATE are interconnected: each time you say something, you have to explain the relevance i.e why you're saying this, why it's important i.e explain why/how it advances your argument = how it is related to your argument/the essay topic. This is the conclusion versus an observation without conclusion.
