Final oral test with at least four questions on different parts of the course.
The oral test verifies: knowledge and understanding of the tools of linguistic analysis, using the linguistic terminology correctly; capacity of personal reflection on linguistic phenomena.

Students who regularly attended are allowed and given the opportunity to take two optional ongoing tests during the Course. They will be in the form of a written questionnaire made up of open questions with predefined response space and multiple-choice questions; the final score will result from the average of the scores got in the single tests. The students who have obtained a final score of at least 18/30 will be allowed, if they wish, to dispense with the oral test, by entering directly the mark resulting from the average of the written tests.
