Teaching Methods

Assessment Methods

Ascertainment of the knowledge and skills acquired is subdivided in two phases: a preliminary oral test on material from Part I (history of literature, authors, movements and texts) and an oral test to assess learning with regard to the in-depth study.
The preliminary test must meet criteria of correct grammar, morphology, syntax and semantics, of expressive clarity and summarizing skill, as well as demonstrating appropriate knowledge of the themes in question. It will consist of open answer questions and requests to paraphrase or analyse the studied texts.
The oral test is an interview whose purpose is to assess both knowledge of contents and the student’s critical and methodological skills. The assessment gained in this first part is valid for 12 months.
Final marks, which goes from 1 to 30, are not constituted by the mathematical average of the two tests: assessment of the oral may increase that of the written up to a maximum of 4 marks. The grading scale goes from 1 to 30 with honours (cum laude): 1-17 fail, 18-21 sufficient, 22-24 fair, 25-27 good, 28-29 very good, 30-30 with honours (cum laude) excellent.
