Learning outcomes

The main educational goal of this course, which is part of the degree course in Foreign Languages and Literatures, is the acquisition by students of advanced skills in Spanish Literature from the origins to the 17th century. As a result students will acquire: - knowledge and comprehension skills: in-depth knowledge of the Spanish Literature of the period planned in terms of historical context, texts, genres, movements and authors, with particular regard to the themes of intercultural exchanges and the expressive differentiation of Literary phenomena. - Applied knowledge and comprehension skills: students will acquire the necessary methodologies to work on literary texts in both historical and comparative perspective, as well as the ability to understand complex texts and implicit meanings. Students must be able to express themselves in Spanish fluently and spontaneously, arguing clearly, structured and detailed on complex topics.

Examination Methods

Español e inglés

Examen oral en español. Los estudiantes que frecuentan podrán acceder a un examen escrito optativo (test) parcial (verifica in itinere), consiguiendo una nota que contribuirá a la evaluación final. La prueba escrita tiene lugar solamente una vez (mes de diciembre).
Los que superen la prueba escrita tienen que preparar para el examen oral solo la segunda parte, o sea la lectura y el comentario del Don Quijote, incluso el libro de Antony Close.
Para acceder a este examen – pero no a la verifica in itinere – hay que haber superado Lingua spagnola 1 y Letteratura spagnola 1.
El programa vale también para los estudiantes que no asisten a clase, aunque se invitan a los no frecuentantes a escribir al docente.

The exam will be an oral discussion in Spanish. A final oral exam will assess:
- a deep knowledge of primary and secondary texts;
- the capacity to read and interpret the literary texts analyzed;
- the capacity to articulate effectively the information and critical assessments concerning texts and topics discussed in class;
- the capacity to express and critically argue in Spanish;
* ERASMUS students are asked to contact with the teacher at the beginning of the course to agree together on the exam methods.

Attending students will take a self-assessment test (verifica in itinere) during the course. The grade given will be part of the final grade. The self- assessment test will be done only once (in December).
Students who pass the written exam will have to prepare, for the oral examination, only the second part, which consists on the reading and commenting of Don Quijote.
In order to take the oral exam, students need to have already passed both Lingua spagnola 1 (Spanish Language 1) and Letteratura spagnola 1 (Spanish Literature 1). All students are allowed to take part on the self-assessment test (prova in itinere).
The syllabus is the same for non-attending students. Students who cannot attend the lessons are kindly invited to get in touch with the professor.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
