ADDITIONAL FORMS OF TEACHING ARE ADDED (THEMATIC INSIGHTS, SEMINARS AND PRACTICAL EXERCISES EVEN WITH LAW OPERATORS AND TEACHERS OF OTHER UNIVERSITIES), IN ITALIAN LANGUAGE. ATTENDANCETO THE COURSE AND THESE EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES IS NOT MANDATORY. HOWEVER IT IS EVIDENT THAT, AS NORMALLY, THE REAL FREQUENCY TO THE COURSE MAY MAKE THE PREPARATION OF THE EXAMINATION EASIER FOR THE STUDENT, CONSIDERING THAT IT ALLOWS TO ENRICH THE CONTENTS OF THE PREPARATION, TO INTERACT ACTIVELY WITH THE PROFESSOR AND TO CHECK, STEP BY STEP, THE PROGRESS OF THE LEARNING METHOD. IN ANY CASE, ALL STUDENTS CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF TUTORIAL ACTIVITIES AND ACCESS TO TEACHING MATERIALS MADE TO THEIR PROVISIONS THROUGH THE TEACHER PAGES (HTTP://DOCENTI.UNISA.IT/005228/HOME, FOR PROF. GIUSEPPE D'ANGELO, AND HTTP://DOCENTI.UNISA.IT/021710/HOME, FOR PROF.SSA CARMELA ELEFANTE) AND THROUGH THE FURTHER CHANNELS INDICATED. THE CALENDAR OF ALL THE TEACHING AND TUTORIAL ACTIVITIES IS REPORTED, FROM TIME TO TIME, WITH SPECIFIC NOTICES PUBLISHED ON THE PROFESSOR PAGES AND ON THE DEPARTMENT WEBSITE.
Verification of learning
LEARNING IS VERIFIED THROUGH A SINGLE ORAL EXAMINATION, WHICH CONSISTS IN AN INTERVIEW, IN ITALIAN LANGUAGE, HAVING THE CONTENT OF THE PROGRAM.
THE EXAM IS INTENDED TO ESTABLISH THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE EXPECTED LEARNINGS (KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING AS WELL AS APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING) AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, IN THE SECTION “OBJECTIVES”. FOR ATTENDING STUDENTS, IT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN THE COURSE. SO THE EXAMINATION CONSISTS OF QUESTIONS ABOUT GENERAL AND THEORICAL ISSUES AND OF QUESTIONS ABOUT PRACTICAL LEGAL ISSUES AND, FOR ATTENDING STUDENTS, ABOUT THE ADDITIONAL THEMATIC AND PROBLEMATIC PROFILES PROCESSED DURING THE LESSONS.
EVALUATION CRITERIA ARE THE SAME FOR BOTH ATTENDING AND NON-ATTENDING STUDENTS. THE EVALUATION OF THE EXAMINATION IS EXPRESSED IN THIRTIETHS AND THE EXAM IS EXCEEDED IF THE STUDENT OBTAINS A SCORE INCLUDED BETWEEN 18/30 AND 30/30.
THE MINIMUM EVALUATION OF 18/30 IS OBTAINED WHEN THE STUDENT SHOWS AN ELEMENTARY DEGREE OF KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE ESSENTIAL CONTENTS OF THE STUDY PROGRAM AND A LIMITED CAPACITY OF UNDERSTANDING OF ITS PRACTICAL AND APPLICATION REVOLUTIONS.
THE MAXIMUM EVALUATION OF 30/30 IS OBTAINED WHEN THE STUDENT SHOWS AN EXTENDED AND DETAILED KNOWLEDGE AND A COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROGRAM ARGUMENTS, COMBINED WITH FULL CRITICAL CAPACITY AND TO SET AND RESOLVE THE RELATED LEGAL QUESTIONS WITH JUSTIFICATION, RELEVANT JUSTICE TOPICS AND PROPERTIES OF LEGAL LANGUAGE. THE LODE IS ASSIGNED WHEN THE STUDENT SHOWS OTHERWISE WIDER CAPACITY OF SYSTEMATIC AND CRITICAL ASSESSMENT, EVEN BEYOND THE PARTICULAR STUDY CONTEXT.
THE ACHIEVEMENT OF AN INTERMEDIATE SCORE (FROM 19/30 TO 29/30) DEPENDS ON THE DEGREE OF AMPLITUDE AND DEPTH OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE CONTENTS OF THE PROGRAM, AS WELL AS THE GRADE OF ABILITY TO APPLY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE, CRITICAL CAPACITY AND ARTICULATION OF A LEGAL REASONING IN A LINEAR WAY AND TO EXPRESS ITSELF WITH CLARITY AND WITH APPROPRIATE LEGAL LANGUAGE.
