Learning outcomes

The course will provide students with an overview of principles and rules that govern private relationships – with special attention on patrimonial aspects – in view of the development of skills necessary to address questions in the field of Private Law. During the course professor and students will also analyse some specific cases together focusing on legal terminology regarding Private Law. Upon completion of the course, students are expected to be able to make use of the basic notions and rules that govern relationships between private individuals and entities, with particular attention to business relationships.

Examination Methods

The exam consists of 30 quiz with multiple choices. The grades are measured in thirtieths (0-30 scale). For each correct answer is assigned 1 point and for each incorrect or not given answer 0 points is assigned.

The written test can potentially cover all the topics included in the exam program.

The written test (45 minutes) is corrected immediately after delivery. Students who passed the written test with at least 26/30 are allowed to take an oral exam, which may improve or worsen the final grade.

No intermediate tests are planned.
