Type of delivery of the course
The course will be organized through lectures structured in a way as to stimulate students' interventions and classroom discussion. In particular, this teaching methodology applies to the general part and the second part devoted to the presentation of case studies and specific problems. To this end, the teacher will make use of IT tools (PowerPoint presentation) and video materials. The third part of the course adopts a dialogical and interactive learning methodology that allows students - alone or gathered in small groups - to work and analyze in class materials submitted by the teacher (case-law, journal articles, constitutional documents etc.). Finally, it will be possible for students to agree with the teacher a topic to be analyzed in a short text to be discussed in class. Attendance to the course is non-compulsory. However, students who attend the lectures (at least 80%) will have the opportunity to discuss in class a topic agreed with the teacher, which will be taken into consideration for the final assessment. Moreover, these students are exempted from some readings for the final exam, regarding topics that are analyzed during the course.Type of evaluation
Assessment of students' learning consists of an oral exam based on the reference readings and bibliography. However, assessment is carried out differenttly depending on whether the student attends or does not attend lessons (the status of student who attend the course is obtained if he or she is not not absent for more than 10% of the lessons). For students who attend the course, assessment based on the oral exam is supplemented by assessment on participation in the course. On his request, during the course the student can agree with the teacher to draft a paper to be presented in the classroom, which will also integrate the final assessment. Furthermore, the student attending the course will be exempted from some readings normally required for preparing the oral exam, since they relate to topics that have been analyzed in classroom. teacher profile teaching materials
