Teaching tools
The exam consists of an oral test and a written test. The oral exam concerns module A and module B. On module A, students will be questioned by Dr. Stefano Scioli. If the health conditions of the country allow it, some seminars, held by Dr. Scioli himself, may be "activated" to support the study of the Italian literature manual. The written test consists of a series of open-ended questions, which allow to verify the student's achievements and his ability to argue them. If the health conditions of the country allow it, the written test will be held in the classroom (otherwise, on EOL).
