Attendance is not compulsory. The syllabus and exam format are the same for attending and non-attending students. Non-attending students may agree on an individual plan.
Exam mode
Module A includes an oral examination aimed at assessing the student's ability to present the topics covered in class, supplemented by the supporting bibliography. The examination takes place at the end of the course. The language course includes a written examination (2.5 hours) and an oral examination, which will take place at the end of the first semester. The written examination involves solving exercises on topics covered during the semester. The oral exam will test the skills acquired during the oral practice exercises. Both exams (written and oral) will be graded on a pass/fail basis rather than on a scale of 1 to 30. The dates of the written exam for the language course are indicated in the 2025-2026 exam calendar, which can be accessed on the lecturer's page and on the Moodle platform. The dates of the oral assessment for the Language Course are the same as those published on INFOSTUD. The final mark, out of thirty, will be awarded on the basis of the oral examination with the lecturer and will be recorded on the INFOSTUD platform. The marks for the Language Course assessments (written and oral) will also be taken into account when awarding the final mark.
