Learning assessment procedures
The exam consists of an interview aimed at verifying the degree of knowledge - of the history of the Virgilian text and of the main approaches of the studies dedicated to it; - autonomous ability to understand, translate and interpret the text of the Aeneid from a historical, philological and linguistic point of view, with reading and analysis of the critical apparatus; - ability to express the contents of the volume of essays in the program with properties of language and discuss with autonomy of judgment. Attendance at the course is not compulsory but is highly recommended due to the specialized nature of the teaching, especially for students who have not previously taken Philology exams; students who cannot attend are therefore invited to contact the teacher to verify their previous knowledge of the history of the tradition of Latin texts and of philological and text-critical methodology.

This written test is preparatory to the aforementioned exam and therefore does not give rise to credits. Starting from the academic year 2019/20 for students of the LM39-Linguistics it is mandatory to pass the above test before registering any exam of L-FIL-LET / 04 that allows to reach the total of 18 credits in the sector necessary for access to teaching in the current ministerial class A-11 (formerly A / 51).
