Didactic methods

Teaching will take place in Italian and Spanish through frontal teaching, case studies and e-learning. The course will have an e-learning platform, which will contain mandatory contents and optional materials. For students who do not have a previous Spanish language education, we will consider the possibility of organizing support courses. This program is also valid for non-attending students who, however, are advised to contact the teacher during the reception hours. Throughout the academic year, the individual reception service managed by the teacher is available, at the timetable indicated on the web pages (no need to set a specific appointment). Students who find themselves in the position of having to make up for missed lessons must contact the teacher.

Learning assessment procedures

The exam takes place in Italian and Spanish and consists of an interview aimed at verifying the depth and breadth of the matured knowledge, the analytical and argumentative ability, the ability to systematically connect knowledge, the property of language. The exam covers the topics covered throughout the program. Students will have the opportunity to take an informal and optional written exam based on the blocks of history and literature (open questions and multiple-choice tests). For those who get a positive result for this test, the oral exam will only focus on the text commentary (reading, translating, contextualizing, analyzing a text fragment).

Evaluation criteria

We will evaluate the depth and breadth of the acquired knowledge, the analytical and argumentative capacity, the ability to connect knowledge in a systemic form, the property of language. Taking a part of the oral exam in Spanish and/or preparing a work of fan fiction or fan art will constitute a note of merit in the overall assessment.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The final grade, expressed out of Thirty, is made up of the average obtained in each of the three parts (history / history of literature / texts)
