Learning assessment procedures

Oral assessment of the knowledge acquired, relating to each of the two parts into which the program is divided, both for attending and non-attending students. In particular for the first part: 1) verification of historical-literary knowledge and related contextualization ability; 2) verification of the ability to understand and analyze different types of literary texts through the detailed examination of exemplary verse and prose texts. In particular for the second part: 1) verification of the ability to contextualize and critically analyze the texts also with reference to the main investigation methods; 2) verification of knowledge of the critical bibliography of reference and the ability to use it in reference to the texts analysed. In relation to this second part, the students will take, at the same time as the oral interview, a quick written test or questionnaire made up of short answer questions designed to verify their direct knowledge of the texts on the programme.
