The lectures, held in Spanish and Italian, will be used to present the historical and cultural context, the authors and the selected works, and guide the student in the use of the bibliography, which will be deepened through self-study; the lessons will serve also to introduce the texts in their original language, which will be read and analyzed by the teacher, but constantly stimulating the participation of the student and an independent approach to the understanding of literary phenomena and the interpretation of texts.

-the ability to read, understand and analyze literary texts presented during the course and those studied individually, also in an original and critical;
-a oral proficiency in Spanish that corresponds to level C1, and the mastery of the use of a register and vocabulary adequate exposure and discussion of literary themes.
The oral test is to assess the acquisition of knowledge and skills above, the ability to deepen them and process them in an original way, and the ability to apply themselves to the analysis of the text, and to express critical opinions, including through comparisons and original reworkings .
Therefore, an evaluation of failure is determined by the lack of knowledge of the minimum requirements established by the course and the ability to rework, lack of understanding and analysis of complex texts, of adequate oral proficiency in Spanish and the ability to find information independently and to make judgments original. Sufficient evaluation (18-23 / 30) is determined by the knowledge of the minimum requirements established by the course, with sufficient understanding and analysis of complex texts, a sufficient oral proficiency in Spanish, a sufficient ability to find information so autonomous and make personal judgments. An average rating (24-27 / 30) is determined by the achievement of a level more than sufficient (24-25 / 30) or good (26-27 / 30) indicators to assess above. A high rating (from 28/30 to 30/30 and praise) is determined by the achievement of a level as very good to excellent indicators of the same evaluation.
