Latin for Classics exam FAQ
How to I register for exams? (AKA: two courses or two modules?)
- For students for whom 2023/24 is their 1st year: since 2023/24 (i.e. the name of the whole course is "Latin Language and Literature" (code 10595679, 12 CFU), under the name of Prof. Ilaria Morresi. This 12 CFU course is constituted by two "modules": the 1st semester module is called "Latin Language" (taught by I. Morresi); the 2nd semester module is called "Latin Culture and Literature" (taught by P. Monella). If this is your case:
- If you have to take the 1st semester/module exam, you don't need to register on InfoStud: just email us both to let us know;
- If you have to take the 2nd semester/module exam (or both), you have to register on InfoStud for the exam of "Latin Language and Literature" (code 10595679, 12 CFU, prof. Morresi).
- For students from previous years: in past years, there were two separate courses (not two modules, but two courses) of 6 CFU each, each with its own InfoStud code and its final grade registered separately: "Latin Language" (taught by I. Morresi in the 1st semester); "Latin Culture and Literature" (taught by P. Monella in the 2nd semester, code 10595085 on InfoStud). These students have to register to the exam for the two courses separately on InfoStud, but are kindly asked to please contact us both via email before doing so.
In other words, since 2023/24 these are two modules of one course; in previous years, they were two different courses, each with its own InfoStud code.
In either case, it's possible that I'll ask you via email to fill in an online survey to state which written exam you want to take (1st module, 2nd module or both).
What is the exam mode (written/oral)?
- For students for whom 2023/24 is their 1st year: You will take three exams:
- A 1st module written exam (translation from Latin plus grammatical analysis) concerning the grammar of the 1st semester module (Wheelock chapters 1-22)
- A 2nd module written exam (also translation plus analysis) concerning the grammar of all Wheelock
- An oral exam after the 2nd module written exam, consisting in further grammar questions on the text you translated in the 2nd written exam
- The final grade will result from those 3 exams.
- For students from previous years: Same as above, but
- The grade of the written exam for the "Latin Language" course (Wheelock chapters 1-22) will be registered as a separate 6-CFU grade on InfoStud (for clarity: this course only has a written exam, no oral exam)
- The grade resulting from the written exam and the oral exam for the "Latin Culture and Literature" course (all of Wheelock) will be registered as a separate 6-CFU grade on InfoStud.
Exam dates for written/oral exams
The dates for the 2024 June/July session will be:
N. |
Written exam date |
Written exam time |
Written exam room |

3. | 17/07/2024 | 10¹-12 | Aula VI | 17/07/2024² | TBA |
¹ Both students who will take the 1st semester and the 2nd semester written exam will start at this time. Students who will take both exams will have more time.
² The official 'appello' (exam date) on InfoStud, for this exam call, is now July 17; the Classics Latin written exam will be on the 17th. Oral exams will be held in one of the next days. The actual date of oral exams for Classics will be communicated via email.
³ I'll let you know the details about hours and rooms for the oral exams when students will have registered for the exam (so we know for how many hours we need to book rooms).
What do I have to bring with me for the exam?
- An ID
- A good dictionary (in print): you will have to use a dictionary both for the 1st sem. and for the 2 sem. exam
- A pen
- Suggested: possibly colors to work on the text
- Suggested: paper bookmarks for the dictionary
- I'll give you all the paper you will need; you cannot use your phone/tablet/computer or any extra paper of your own.
What if I have to take the 1st semester/module written exam (or want to take both written exams on the same day)?
Both students who have to take the 1st semester written exam, and those who have to take the 2nd semester written exam, will come at the same day, time and room, as listed in the table above. Each group will take its own exam at the same time, in the same room.
If you want, you can take the 1st semester and the 2nd semester written exams sequentially (without pause) on the same day: you will have extra time at the end of the 2 hours.
Students who will take the 1st semester exam (or the 1st sem. and 2nd sem. exams together) must email both prof. Monella and prof. Morresi (in cc) to say so.
What if I want to take my exams later than June-July 2024?
We suggest that you take the exam as soon as you can (i.e. in June-July 2024), especially if you attended the course, but you can also take it later. If you go to InfoStud and check for the 12 credits course "Latin Language and Literature" (code 10595679, under the name of prof. Ilaria Morresi) you will find all the official exam dates (i.e. the dates for the oral exams) until January 8, 2025. Information on written exams (which will be held before the official InfoStud exam dates), instead, will be provided session by session (summer/June-July, autumn/September, winter/January-February).
What if I pass the 1st semester/module exam and fail the 2nd sem./module one?
If you are now enrolled in your first year of course and you are a Classics student (not, for example, an Erasmus exchange student), then your course on InfoStud is Latin Language and Literature (code 10595679), which is a 12 credits course. Though it is constituted by two 6 credits modules (1st and 2nd semester), the final exam gives you 12 credits. It is not possible to get 6 credits registered (Erasmus students have a special situation, so they can contact us directly for solutions).
If a students passes the 1st module/semester exam, but does not pass the 2nd module/semester exam, I and prof. Morresi will save the 1st module exam result in a file, and when (s)he (later) passes the 2nd module exam too, we shall register the whole 12 credits exam on InfoStud.
