Learning assessment procedures

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.

Evaluation criteria

The assessment of learning outcomes is aimed at verifying:
1) knowledge of the history of Spanish literature of the of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries;
2) the understanding of the primary texts in the syllabus, within their historical and cultural context;
3) the acquisition of a critical methodology appropriate to the analysis of texts and contexts;
4) the ability of textual analysis as well as expository and argumentative analysis in Spanish.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The final mark will result from the average of the grades assigned according to the four criteria described above.
