The course "History of Foreign Literature of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance" is a compulsory component for students majoring in 035 “Philology” (Romance languages, with French as the first language) at the Bachelor’s level. It is taught in the second semester (2 ECTS credits: 14 hours of lectures, 16 hours of seminars, and 30 hours of independent study; 2 hours per week). The final assessment is an exam. The course focuses on the development patterns and artistic features of Western European literature of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. It provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the literary process of these periods, including knowledge of movements, styles, genres, and key concepts, as well as skills in textual analysis using cultural-historical, hermeneutic, intertextual, and comparative approaches.

In-class work integrates and builds on independent study of theoretical material in preparation for classroom activities, including oral responses, supplementary contributions, tests, maintenance of a terminology glossary, and presentations.

Assessment is conducted throughout the semester in accordance with the types of tasks and forms of control specified in Section 7.1. The final credit is awarded based on the student’s overall performance during the semester and does not involve additional assessment procedures. Students who achieve the minimum passing score of 60 points receive a “pass,” while those who score below 60 receive a “fail.” Students who do not reach the required minimum must complete the outstanding topics by taking a comprehensive written test of increased difficulty.
