Timetable:
For the timetable of lessons see http://www.fissuf.unipg.it - Learning verification modality
- In case a student intends to anticipate his/her exam in a year preceding the one it is scheduled in his/her curriculum, it is recommended to anticipate as well the attendance of the lessons and to schedule the exam in the first useful session after the lessons have been concluded.
The exam includes an oral which consists of a discussion-interview on the topics covered during the course and deepened on the recommended texts. The test serves to ascertain the level of knowledge and understanding, as well as synthesis, achieved by the student. Furthermore, this interview will allow to verify the student's ability to communicate what has been acquired with method, properties of language and exposure. The duration of the exam varies according to the progress of the test itself.
The program is identical for attending and non-attending students.
