Didactic methods

Frontal lessons in Spanish. Attendance is strongly recommended. The teaching support material (slides, texts, images, etc.) used in the classroom, will be downloadable from the e-learning platform, but this material does not replace the full reading of the manual of the works in the program. Please note that 1 training credit is equivalent to 25 hours of study; for this reason, in a course of 9 CFU, in addition to attending the lessons (54 hours), students are expected to commit an amount of at least another 150 hours to study.

Learning assessment procedures

Oral exam, with a preliminary written test in progress. The written test (either in Italian or Spanish) will focus on the topics covered in module 1 (history of literature and the historical-cultural context) and will consist of a test (multiple choice and open questions). For those who obtain a positive result, the oral exam will focus only on module 2 dedicated to the reading of Don Quixote. For students who have not taken or have not passed the ongoing written test, the final exam will consist of a single oral test on the entire course program.

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