Modalità di insegnamento

Lessons will be held in person. For those who cannot make it to Turin or to the Campus because of COVID-19 restrictions, classes will be broadcasted in streaming, via the personal WeBex room of the Professors. Please check on the Moodle e-learning page for more detailed information in relation to each class.

The course will consist of:

- traditional frontal lessons to be held by providing students with PPT presentations and audio presentations.

- involvement of the students in the elaboration of self-evaluation materials. In particular, on a voluntary basis and under the professor's supervision, the students will have the possibility to present a paper in class

- final exam simulations

The course will be held in presence, if the epidemiological situation so allows. If, due to pandemic-related restrictions, the course needs to be taught at distance, it will consist of a combination of synchronous and asynchronous teaching tools.

Modalità di verifica dell'apprendimento

Students will take a written exam consisting of a discussion of 2 questions.

Limits to the length of the answers will be imposed. Depending on the characteristics of the questions, the time allocated will range from 40 min to 1 hour.

For the purposes of the final evaluation, the following criteria will be taken into consideration:

- formal accuracy (including grammar)

- completeness of the answers

- adequate selection of the relevant arguments

- adequate presentation of the arguments (including use of an appropriate legal terminology)

- autonomous organization and elaboration of the answer

"Incorrect" solutions to the cases will not automatically determine a negative evaluation, as long as the answer will be construed on a coherent reasoning, consistent with the underlying theoretical background and adequately motivated.
