Teaching methods

The lectures will be given by Prof. Andrea Lassandari and Professor Ester Villa. All lectures will be given in Italian. Prof. Lassandari will focus both on theoretical issues and case law. Further, he will urge students to actively take part in the lectures.

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 labour market;

- 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.

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".
