Examination Methods

During the course, students will have access to a written test that will contribute to the final evaluation. The final exam consists of an oral test in Spanish which includes a verification of the level of comprehension of the texts (reading, translation and comment).
The exam will be intended to verify: the depth of the knowledge acquired / the ability to understand the literary texts / the ability to connect to the historical-cultural context / the ability to express and argue in Spanish

NON-ATTENDING students must study Anthony Close, Guía esencial del Quijote, Madrid, Visor, 2019 in addition to the history of literature manual.
For students who do not take or do not pass the partial test, the final oral exam on the entire program is scheduled. Please remember that 1 training credit is equivalent to 25 hours of study; for this reason, in a 9 CFU course, in addition to attending the lessons (54 hours), students are expected to spend at least 150 hours studying. The teacher is available during the reception for clarifications on the course contents.
