-Mid-term tests (translating sentences and texts from Italian into Chinese and viceversa)
- Final written and oral exams. The written exam, of a 2 hours duration, consists in translating sentences from Italian into Chinese and translating a newspaper article from Chinese into Italian (the use of dictionaries is not permitted, the teacher will provide a glossary of words which have not been explained during class). The oral exam consists in reading, translating and analysing (from a morpho-syntactic perspective) texts included in the handbook and newspaper articles (previously explained in class). In order to be admitted to the oral examination, students must have passed the written one. For the purposes of the final result (i.e. grade) of the exam, the written and oral examination are equally important. The final result, at the end of the oral exam, is expressed with a 30-point scale (passing: 18 to 30 cum laude).
