Type of Assessment
The exam will take place only in oral form, even for non-attending students or exchange programs (Erasmus and others). The test will be divided into two questions on the following specific parts of the course: 1) knowledge of Spanish literary history of the 18th-19th-20th centuries; 2) Full-text and critical reading of the texts. The two specific parts can be verified with one or two articulate questions covering all areas. During the test the student can be required to analyze the materials discussed in class.
Demonstrating a sufficient level of preparation in both parts is necessary to pass the test.
The final evaluation is made by the average between the two parts.
The test aims to verify:
- basic knowledge of Spanish literary history of the 18th-19th-20th centuries;
- knowledge of the critical tools for the analysis of poetic and theatrical texts;
- the ability to critically analyze the texts included in the programme.
