• The THEORETICAL PART will include lessons and seminaries. Mid-term assessments will be organized.

• The PRACTICAL PART will require team work. The students, aided by the professor, will apply translation techniques and carry out a class project.

Assessment

• The final exam will include a written test and/or an oral exam, aiming at assessing the students’ acquisition of Translation Theories and practice. After translating a short text, the students will be asked to shortly comment their translation choices.

• For those students who will regularly attend the lectures, the final mark will be made up of mid-term assessments as well, and of the practical work carried out in class, which will be evaluated.
