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 Translation Workshop includes a written translation test that will take place at the same time as the written Language Workshop test, at the end of the semester. The translation will be assessed and discussed during the oral examination. Lecture The lecture involves writing an essay in Romanian on a topic proposed by Dr. Nesu and an oral exam that 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 thirty. The dates of the oral exam for the lecture 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 tests (written and oral) will also be taken into account when awarding the final mark.
