Assessment methods

The exams aim to verify the knowledge of the acquired subject, by means of notionistic and controversial questions to ascertain that the preparation is not only mnemonic, but substantial.
The partial I exam takes place in written form, with answers to multiple-choice questions, and the mark is expressed in 30/30. The partial grade is 30% of the overall grade, for students who accept the grade. During the break of the pre-partial examination classes, a test is administered to familiarize yourself with answers for self-assessment.

Partial exams II and III (where the mark of the Partial I has been accepted by the student) are 70% of the total, are taken orally and consist of at least 3 questions on the second part of the program.
The final vote is therefore the result of the following formula:
X= (Y+30%) + (Z+70%), where X is the final vote, Y is the vote of the partial I, Z is the vote of the partial II.
The student may, until the end of the exam, opt for the total, asking for a question also on the part of the program already covered by the partial I.

The third appeal is exclusively full (and oral) and will therefore consist of at least 1 question for the first part and three questions for the second part.
* students* who have taken the partial I will receive a question on a topic of the first part of the course that will be indicated (virtual/unibo. it). The teacher will however take into account the assessment obtained in the partial I, according to the following formula:
X= [ (Y*50%) + (K*50%) *30%]+ (Z*70%), where K is the mark given to the question asked in the oral exam and relating to the first part of the program

Teaching tools

For each lesson are prepared illustrative slides, with references to jurisprudence and doctrine, and with explanatory examples.
The slides are published in virtual/unibo. it.
