Modalità di insegnamento
As the present Coronavirus is happily relenting, lectures will be regularly held with an in-presence modality, according to the ordinary timetable.
Lectures will be also streamed via webex at the following address: https://unito.webex.com/meet/enrico.sciandrello
Video recordings of such lectures and also other teaching material (such as PDFs) will be uploaded on Moodle and available to all students for a couple of weeks.
All students are in any case kindly asked to register to the course and also to register in the Moodle section, as this is needed in order to receive emails regarding the course (e.g. regarding meetings, teaching material, exams, etc).
Lectures and meetings do not replace the studying of the textbook, as they will usually cover only the most relevant aspects of Roman law. Nonetheless, students are highly encouraged to attend lectures, as these will be very useful for the understanding of the many technicalities of this subject-matter.
Remember that the modalities of teaching as here described could change because of a changing of the sanitary emergency. Please consult regularly this webpage for possible updates.

Modalità di verifica dell'apprendimento
Exams will be in ordinary modality starting from the winter calls (December 2021).
Ordinary modality
Exams will be only in written form and in in-presence modality. Students will be given an hour to complete a paper divided in three sections, as following: in the first section, students must answer to a multiple choice test with three questions; in the second section, students must focus only on a definition, list etc. pertaining to a Roman specific juridical institute (e.g. list of the modes of creation of usufruct; definition of 'mandate'; etc.); in the third section, students will be asked for an in-depth explanation of a Roman juridical institute. The first section will receive 10 points if correctly answered, the second 8, the third 12.
Should the pandemic arise again, the exam modality will be as following.
Coronavirus emergency modality
Exams will be divided in two parts. The first part will consist in a text with multiple choice, which will be accessible on Moodle, consisting in 20 (twenty) questions, to be answered in 20 minutes. Every right answer will receive 1 point. Questions will concern every part of the course except the law of obligations.
A minimum of 12 (twelve) points will be needed in order to access the second part of the exam, which will be only oral. Students will be examined online in the webex room of Professor Sciandrello (https://unito.webex.com/meet/enrico.sciandrello). Questions will concern only the law of obligation.
According to current regulations of our University, until September 2022 students can ask to take the exam online only in a few cases, which can be summed up as following: 1) if the student has his/her legal residence outside the Piedmont region (and he/she is out of Piedmont at the same time, of course); 2) if the student has serious health issues (not only due to Covid or to Covid-related symptoms, but also issues regarding serious forms of illness that should not be exposed to Covid risks).
As the modalities of the examination could change because of the sudden coming back of a Coronavirus emergency, please consult regularly this webpage for further updates.
