The exam consists of an autonomous research undertaken by the student, in two various stages, plus a conversation exam with the language instructor; the parts of the exam are thus divided as following:
1. a paper (ca. 2500 words) on a topic agreed with the professor, including the glossing and translation of a Turkish text (written part of the final exam)
2. an oral presentation of the written paper in Turkish (intermediate exam)
3. a conversation exam with the language instructor (oral part of the final exam)
Lecture, analysis exercises, homework (mainly translation)
Italian
Students unable to attend the classes are requested to contact the professor at the beginning of the semester.

Attendance of the exercise classes with the language instructor is strongly recommended IN BOTH SEMESTERS for non Turkish-native students.

THE COURSE INCLUDES ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE EXERCISE CLASSES PROVIDED BY THE LANGUAGE INSTRUCTOR DR. ÖZKAN GÜRSES. IT IS STRONGLY SUGGESTED THAT STUDENTS ATTEND THESE CLASSES IN ORDER TO OBTAIN AN APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF LANGUAGE COMPETENCE.
