Corso di laurea magistrale in Letteratura, Filologia e Linguistica italiana

1. The syllabus of the "Undergraduate Romance Philology A" course (Prof. G. Noto);
2. One of the following readings:
– Michelangelo Picone, *Il racconto nel Medioevo*, Bologna, il Mulino, 2012;
– Maria Luisa Meneghetti, *Il romanzo nel Medioevo*, Bologna, il Mulino, 2010.

The student will be able to read and interpret the Romance texts covered in the course, applying the appropriate historical-philological, textual-critical, and exegetical methodologies to each, and presenting the results of their study in an accurate and coherent manner.

The course contributes to the methodological and critical training in philology and medieval literature that characterizes the degree program. It aims to provide students with the fundamental critical and analytical tools necessary to understand the issues related to the transmission, reception, and interpretation of texts from medieval Romance literature.

European Dante: Dante and the Troubadours.

The course consists of 36 hours of in-class lectures (6 ECTS), supported by projections and readings of texts.

Attendance is not mandatory but is strongly recommended.

The course will follow a seminar-style format as much as possible: a dossier containing the materials useful for study will be made available to students on the course’s Moodle page.

Students are advised to:

1. enroll on the course webpage;

2. check the announcements section for any updates;

3. consult the materials uploaded on the course’s Moodle page in a timely manner.

The knowledge and skills acquired will be assessed through an oral examination consisting of three to four questions aimed at evaluating both content knowledge and applied skills. The exam will also include the reading and analysis of selected texts discussed during the course. The exam is expected to last approximately 30 minutes.

Assessment will be expressed on a 30-point scale. Preparation will be considered adequate if the student demonstrates:
– knowledge, understanding, and the ability to apply the topics covered;
– clear and accurate communication, using appropriate terminology (both general and specialized);
– independent organization of arguments and precise definitions.

The final grade will be awarded as follows:

• An excellent or very good grade (28–30 cum laude) will be given to students who demonstrate a well-structured understanding of the course topics, strong critical thinking, and confident use of specific terminology.

• A good to fair grade (25–27) or (21–24) will be given for a primarily memorized or partially assimilated understanding, with some limitations in language and logical reasoning skills.

• A passing grade (18–20) will be assigned to students with a minimal grasp of the course content, possibly accompanied by conceptual or linguistic gaps.

• A failing grade (<18/30) will be given when students show an insufficient level of content knowledge, inadequate linguistic and logical skills, and significant learning gaps.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD) are kindly asked to review the support and inclusion services provided by the University, particularly the procedures for requesting exam accommodations and general assistance.
