Assessment methods and criteria
The assessment of knowledge and skills occurs by means of a written and an oral examination.
During the written exam, the student is asked to do some exercises, mainly focused on translation, transcription from Arabic to Latin alphabet, text comprehension
During the oral exam, the student is expected to be familiar with the contents of the course, and the written exam will be analysed.
The knowledge and skills to be assessed during the oral examination may be summarised in basic oral conversational elements and the theoretical knowledge of the contents of the course, as well as an appropriate level in the ability to use the rules in different kinds of sentence.
A fail is determined by the lack, demonstrated by students during the oral examination, of understanding of the minimum and essential contents of the course, A pass (18-23/30) is awarded to those students who show that they have learned the minimum and essential contents of the course, that they have acquired a sufficient capacity in using the rules in different texts. Middle-range scores (24-27/30) are assigned to the student who produces evidence of a more than sufficient level (24-25/30) or a good level (26-27/30) in the evaluation indicators listed above. Higher scores (from 28/30 to 30/30 cum laude) are awarded on the basis of the student’s demonstration of a very good or excellent level in the evaluation indicators listed above.
