Attendance is not compulsory. The syllabus and exam format are the same for attending and non-attending students. Non-attending students may agree on an individual plan.

The teaching module (Translation Workshop) includes a written translation test that will take place at the same time as the written test for the Language Course, at the end of the second semester. The translation will be assessed and discussed during the oral examination. The Language course includes a written exam (2.5 hours) and an oral exam, which will take place at the end of the second semester. The written exam involves solving exercises on topics covered during the two semesters. The oral exam will test the skills acquired during the oral practice exercises. Both exams (written and oral) will be assessed with a summary evaluation rather than a mark out of 30. The dates of the written assessment for the Language Course are indicated in the 2025-2026 Examination Calendar, which can be accessed on the lecturer's page and on the Moodle platform. The dates of the oral assessment for the Language Course are the same as those published on INFOSTUD. The final mark, out of thirty, will be awarded on the basis of the written translation test and its analysis; the marks for the Language Course assessments (written and oral) will also be taken into account when awarding the final mark.

Teaching module: translation workshop - intermediate level The workshop takes place in the first semester. The workshop is divided into homogeneous teaching units; each teaching unit will focus on one of the essays to be translated and will be structured as follows: 1. analysis of the text to be translated, with particular attention to vocabulary relating to urban space; 2. verification and checking of the translation done individually at home; the individual translation will be discussed from a linguistic-textual as well as historical-cultural point of view by the entire class, coordinated by the teacher; 3. comparison of individual translations with translations produced by the most popular digital translation software (Google Translator, Deepl, Reverso, etc.). Given the seminar format, which requires active participation by students, attendance is strongly recommended, although not compulsory. The language course is annual and takes place in the first and second semesters. It consists of four hours of lessons per week dedicated to the presentation and practice of grammatical theory and oral practice: conversation, oral presentation of previously set topics, etc.
