In class, the teacher will turn questions to the students to solicit them to the maturation of a critical language and will develop exercises in oral form and writing. The lessons will present materials of support (powerpoint, digital images, databases, ebooks) that will be available online or on the website of the teacher.

During the oral examination, the teacher will appraise the linguistic and critical ability to elaborate a coherent philological and interpretative discourse. The questions regard the main sections of the Course: philology of the copy, author philology, preparation of a critical edition (in particular, Gabriele d'Annunzio's Alcyone).
