Learning assessment procedures

The exam takes place in oral form in Spanish (in Italian, at the student's choice, the bibliography in Italian) and consists of an interview aimed at verifying the depth and breadth of the knowledge acquired, the analytical and argumentative ability, the the ability to connect knowledge and language properties in a systemic form. The topics being tested concern the entire program. If possible, there will be an informal and optional written test lasting an hour and a half on the topics of history and history of literature (open questions and multiple choice tests). For those who obtain a positive result in this test, the oral exam will focus solely on the commentary on the texts (reading, translation, contextualization and analysis of a passage).

The historical-geographical, historical-literary knowledge, the ability to analyze and interpret the literary text, the ownership of language and the expository skills will be assessed. To compose the final grade, the parts of the two teachers will be averaged and with the optional writing for those who choose to carry it out.
