Examination Methods

The preparation of the students will be verified with ongoing tests also exploiting the potential of the moodle platform, in particular through tests and papers (in written form). A brief final interview on the whole teaching program will follow in the dates of the exam.
The teachers will evaluate the level of the acquired knowledge of the fundamental methods and theories of linguistics and the ability to recognize and describe the structural phenomena of languages in an appropriate and uniform way, according to the topics treated during the course, in particular the points about phonology and about grammatical categories. Critical thinking and communicative skills (mostly the use of the technical terminology) are also considered for evaluation.
