Examination Methods

The exam consists of a written test and a work, both in Spanish. In the written test there will be questions (short answer) and textual analysis. It will be based on the aspects covered throughout the course, on the bibliography and on the teaching materials that will be posted on the Moodle platform. The work consists of the translation from Spanish into Italian of a specialized text for tourism or business (to be arranged with the teacher) accompanied by a critical comment. Students who regularly attend classes will also be assessed through partial oral tests throughout the course (a presentation).
Students who cannot attend the lessons and Erasmus students must get in touch with the professor.
Students will be able to take the Varieties of Spanish 2: tourism and commerce exam only after they have passed Varieties of Spanish 1.

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