The topics of the textbook to be studied are the following:

- Lo sviluppo sostenibile nelle aree marine protette - La navigazione nelle aree marine protette: profili di diritto comparato - I limiti della navigazione nelle aree marine protette - Le aree marine protette nell'ordinamento interno - I limiti, i divieti e le prospettive di riconversione dell'attività di pesca nelle aree marine protette - La gestione delle aree marine protette: il caso delle Isole Ciclopi.

Students are therefore kindly invited to enroll in the course's website on 'Virtuale'. For this purpose, students have to log in the University website with their own personal institutional credentials and scroll the menu 'Online services' in the header of Unibo home page, above the website logo. The Unibo website provides students with instructions and tutorials for using the 'Virtuale' platform and other useful services.

Teaching methods

The course consists of lectures, performed also by using power point presentations. The lectures are held during the first semester and are aimed at soliciting the involvement of students and their participation to the lesson. 

Assessment methods

The assessment consists of an oral interview aimed at assessing the knowledge acquired by the student, in particular the actual achievement of the learning outcomes. The exam consists of an interview on the topics included in the exam programme indicated below. The assessment will take into account the knowledge of the relevant institutional framework, the ability to analyse doctrinal and jurisprudential opinions and, to single out connections between the relevant topics, to critical reasoning, as well as the clarity of presentation and critical thinking.

The interview will in particular assess the student's ability to identify - within the law sources and the reference and bibliographic material - the relevant information for the proper awareness and to consequently explain the peculiarities of the issues concerned.

In order to pass the exam, it is necessary to correctly answer to three main questions relating to the topics specified in the exam programme provided below. The student's preparation can be assessed also on the basis of further questions aimed at deepening aspects relating to the three main questions.

By way of example (taking also into consideration the inner complexity of abstractly converting in advance the above-mentioned criteria into scores), the following criteria will be used to assign the final mark (that will be out of 30/30, with honours for the best students), provided that in order to pass the exam a sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the topics and adequate language skills are needed:

- knowledge of a very limited number of topics, extensive support by the interviewer to address and answer the questions, basic yet appropriate language: 18-19/30;

- knowledge of a limited number of topics, ability to autonomously address basic legal problems, use of appropriate language: 20-24/30;

- comprehensive knowledge of the programme, ability to autonomously and critically analyse legal problems, use of specific terminology: 25-29/30;

- extensive knowledge of the programme, ability to reason autonomously and critically analyse legal problems, make connections between the topics, ability to master the specific terminology and ability to present legal arguments: 30-30 Hons/30.

During the exam the use of aids, such as textbooks, notes, computer devices, is not allowed.

Teaching tools

Teaching is supported by power point presentations on the main topics of the course, which will be uploaded as teaching materials on the platform 'Virtuale'.
