Teaching methods

The Professor will lead the course, but students' intervention or working papers will be appreciated.

Assessment methods

At the end of the course there will be an oral examination, not before the month of June. It is also possible to arrange a personalised programme with the teacher, in order to focus the examination on a specific working paper realised by the student.

The outcome of the final exam will mainly depend on:

- being familiar with the main concept within the subject matter of the industrial relations law;

- being familiar with the main situations of power, rights and obligations of the employment relationship;

- being familiar with the main atypical employment relationships;

- good communication skills.

It's possible to attend the examination only for the students that have passed Diritto privato and Diritto costituzionale examinations.

The valuation of the exam will be inspired, by way of example, at the following criteria:

scarcely sufficient preparation on the topics of the exam, poor critical ability and difficulty in using the technical-legal language → 18-21;

more than sufficient or discreet preparation on the topics of the exam with critical skills and use of technical-legal language → 22-25;

good or more than good preparation on the topics of the exam with adequate critical skills and ability in the use of the technical-legal language → 26-28;

substantially exhaustive preparation on the topics of the exam with high critical ability and full capacity in the use of the technical-legal language → 29-30-30L".
