Latin Literature Ma

The exam consists of two parts. Firstly, students must pass a written examination. It consists of a translation (usually at the PC) and a short commentary of a Latin text. Students are given a maximum time of three hours. There is no mark, but only the admission (or non-admission) to the oral test. Evaluation criteria are: the correctness in the interpretation of the text; the accuracy in the use of the modern language; the ability to comment on the key points of the text, answering to open-ended and closed-ended questions. Simulations of the examination and texts are available on the Ariel website (https://mgioseffilllm.ariel.ctu.unimi.it/v5/home/Default.aspx). The results of the examination are communicated on the same website.

Oral exam. It consists of three parts. The examination aims to ascertain:
- the knowledge of the texts translated autonomously by the students (see below);
- the ability to discuss the texts presented during classes (Units A, B and D);
- The ability to understand and to comment on a short text chosen by the Examination Committee (this part can be substituted by the active participation to the online interactive exercises and the classroom exercises = Unity C).

It is possible to speak in Italian, English or Latin; the passing mark is 18/30, the top mark is 30/30 (cum laude).

The exam aims to evaluate the ability to understand the Latin texts; their skill in presenting the contents of the proposed texts; the appropriateness in the use of the technical language; the ability to use knowledge, facts, and data to effectively solve difficult problems.

Students who did not attend the class, will find available on the e-learning Aerial platform the alternative bibliography; forum exercises; vocal recordings.

International or Erasmus incoming students are kindly requested to contact the teachers of the course.

Also students with disabilities should contact the teachers, in order to discuss alternative examination methods, in agreement with the competent Office.
