Evaluation methods Verification of learning:
The exam consists of an oral interview on the topics covered during the course. It could be divided of two parts: the first consists of 4-5 questions aimed at verifying the acquisition of theoretical notions given (Chinese literary history and the relevant socio-political context); the second consists in reading, translating and commenting on some of the texts presented during the course. The final evaluation, expressed expressed on a scale of 18 (the minimum mark to pass the exam) to 30 cum laude, will be obtained from the average of the marks obtained in the two respective parts. It will be considered sufficient if the student will be able to express a basic knowledge of the topics covered and the texts presented during the course; instead it will be maximum if the student proves to know in depth the topics and texts and to know how to deal with them and elaborate.
