All students may be required to read and comment on passages taken from the primary texts, which they are strictly required to take with them at the exam.

Assessment will be based on the student's:
ability to express themselves with confidence and clarity,
ability to comment / analyse the literary texts discussed in class,

discuss the topics discussed in class.
Critical thinking and ability to develop evidence-based arguments will be especially rewarded.

with distinction (defined as “lode” in Italian), while the lower one is 18/30. Exams under 18/30 are
considered as “not passed”.
