Examination Methods

The exam aims to ascertain:
• the knowledge of the topics in the program;
• the ability to present them with an appropriate legal language;
• the ability to connect systematically the acquired knowledge;
• analytical and argumentative abilities;
• the ability to apply logical legal schemes emerging from the topics discussed and, in particular, from the case law analyzed in the second part of the course.

Content and method of the test:
The exam consists of a written test in the form of closed and multiple answers, containing of 20 questions expressed in thirtieths. For each error or an unanswered question are deducted 2 thirtieths from the maximum achievable grade (30/30); The exam lasts 30 minutes and is considered exceeded if the student gets at least 18 thirtieths (18/30).
The exam consists of two written tests covering all required knowledge and both evaluated during the same day, one after another.
The first test consists of a written test in the form of closed and multiple answers, containing of 20 questions expressed in thirtieths. For each error or an unanswered question are deducted 2 thirtieths from the maximum achievable grade (30/30); The exam lasts 30 minutes and is considered exceeded if the student gets at least 16 thirtieths (16/30). This first test will be corrected at the end of the examination and the results are immediately made known to the students, who must then ensure their presence in the classroom even after the end of the examination. Then, it follows the second test; only students who have obtained at least 16 thirtieths in the first test are eligible.
The second test consists of a written test comprising two questions proposed by the examining Commission; the test lasts no more than 50 minutes and no more than 20 lines will be available for each answer.
The examination will be passed if the arithmetic mean of the grades obtained in the two written tests corresponds at least to the final grade of 18/30. The final grade is however rounded up to the nearest higher grade.
