Latin Literature

A summative assessment is done at the end of the course, consisting of: (1) a preliminary and mandatory test to evaluate the level of language skills and (2) an oral interview to assess the knowledge in Latin literature and skills in reading of latin texts.
1) The online test is about a prose latin text (adapted and eased) of 10-15 lines and is articulated in 30 multiple-choice questions (time allowed: 1h; number of questions: 30; each question has four options A, B, C or D, or True/False choice or, in few cases, is an open-ended question: students have to decide which is the correct answer or write the correct answer). The vote is expressed in 30/30 (correct answer = 1; uncorrected or missing answer = 0). Use of the dictionary is forbidden. The results of the preliminary test are available in few days on Ariel website.
Please note that the students, who are already provided with Level B1 of Latin Language Certificates are exempted from the mandatory and preliminary test.
2) The oral interview consists of four questions (about each of three modules and the History of Literature). Students are required to read, translate and analyse texts; to knowledge the main trends of the history of Latin literature and culture; to develop clearly, in relation to the topics dealt with in the course, a well-articulated argumentation. The level of accuracy in reading and translation, of linguistic and grammatical skills as well as ownership of language and clearness of argumentation, the ability to express acquired knowledge, the ability to propose links between different parts of the program or with related disciplines will be assessed. The vote is expressed in 30/30. Please note that point average of the assessment is dependent only by the results of the interview, not of the test.
