Attendance

The course will begin in the first semester. Regular attendance, which is strongly recommended, will guide students in their individual study, which nonetheless remains essential. The lessons, structured as a combination of theory and practice, will be supplemented by activities and mid-term assessments, useful for monitoring progress and for the final evaluation. A good knowledge of the Italian language is required. The course will be delivered in Spanish.

Type of evaluation

The final exam will consist of an oral examination on the course contents, with any adjustments to the syllabus agreed upon based on the activities carried out in class. Students who participate regularly and actively in the course will be able to take a mid-term assessment. Passing this assessment will exempt them from the topics covered in it during the final exam. The overall exam grade will be calculated with 40% based on the result obtained in the mid-term assessment and 60% based on the final exam. Students who do not pass the mid-term assessment, or who choose not to take it, will be evaluated solely on the basis of the grade obtained in the final oral exam. Students who are unable to attend classes are strongly advised to contact the lecturer at least three months before the exam, in order to receive useful guidance for their studies. Note: All students are invited to check Prof. Arroyo's websites/TEAMS/MOODLE, where they will find up-to-date information regarding lessons and exam syllabi, as well as any supporting teaching materials.
