Teaching methods
The teaching is essentially on theoretical lectures.
In addition, to support learning, seminars, practical exercises, testimonies and workshops will be proposed.
Assessment methods
The examination consists of an oral test, articulated in two questions of the same weight for the purpose of the final vote, which is expressed out of 30.
Definition of the final vote:
preparation on a very limited number of topics taught in the course, analysis capacity displayed only with the help of the Professor, speech mainly correct → 18-19;
preparation on a limited number of topics taught in the course, autonomous analysis capacity only on executive matters, correct speech → 20-24;
preparation on a wide number of topics taught in the course, capacity of autonomous critical analysis, mastery of specific terminology → 25-29;
thorough preparation on the topics taught in the course, capacity of autonomous critical analysis and ability to link, full mastery of specific terminology, self-reflection and argumenting capacity → 30-30L.
The evaluation criteria used in the allocation of the final grade for the attending students will take account of the knowledge and the ability to present and discuss the topics covered. In particular, active participation to lesson discussions and given material presentation will be weighted 50% in the final vote.
Teaching tools
Given the rapid evolution of the subject matter, the lessons will take account of the changes in the legislation, case law and collective bargaining. To that end, supplementary material will be posted on line from the Campus website as well as slides relating to the various issues addressed in class.
