Teaching methods

The course is taught in frontal lessons.

Attendance at lectures is strongly recommended, especially for students who do not have university-level legal knowledge.

Attendance in the classroom will be randomly checked to qualify students as "attending" students, and allow them to access the preliminary written test in simplified form (see the section Learning assessment methods)

A seminar on method and tools of legal research is foreseen, the attendance of which is compulsory for students who intend to support their degree thesis in this subject.

There will also be some seminars aimed at deepening the knowledge of particularly relevant or topical aspects, to which scholars, representatives of institutions, professionals and experts in the field will be invited.

Assessment methods

1. COMPULSORY WRITTEN EXAM (for italian speaking students)

It takes place on the first day of examination.

The written exam is divided in two different parts: the first one is a multiple choice test (20 questions) and the second one is a open question test (3 questions).

The multiple choice test is preliminary and preparatory to the open question test, and students must give 15 correct answer out of 20.

The final grade is determined by the result of the open question test.

Therefore:

- if students do not answer at least 15 questions in the first part, they won't be able to undergo the second part and their exam finishes

- if students give 15 (or more) correct answer in the first part, they will continue the exam by undergoing the second part. The examining board will assess this second part.

2. OPTIONAL ORAL EXAMINATION

Students who pass the written test can ask to take an oral exam to try to improve the evaluation obtained.

In this case they must send a request to dar.didatticadonati@unibo.it within 48 hours from the publication of the written test results.


3.EXAMS FOR NON ITALIAN SPEAKING STUDENTS
Students who do not speak Italian are given the opportunity to take the oral exam on the day of the written exam

- sending an an email to dar.didatticadonati@unibo.it

- registering for the written exam.


All students are required to study the materials contained in the bibliography provided for the A.Y. in progress.
