Didactic methods
The course is divided into
- 48 hours (8 CFU) of lectures
- 12 hours (1 CFU) of remote laboratory, organized according to the Problem Based Solving (PSB) methodology, providing for the discussion of case studies and guided resolution of concrete cases drawn from practice. The teaching materials used during the course (in particular, for the laboratory part) that integrate the reference manual, will be provided to students through the "Moodle" e-learning platform.
Learning assessment procedures
The final exam will have two parts. In the first, students must respond in writing to three open questions to verify an understanding of the text of the Constitution, and to resolve basic applied law source problems. In the second, students must respond to oral questioning to determine whether they are capable of independent, critical analysis of the subjects covered during the course.
For students attending the course, there will be an optional midterm examination of open questions on the subjects covered during the course. Students who pass this exam must then take an oral exam on a fixed date that covers the remaining part of the course.
ERASMUS students should discuss exam options with the professor.
Final grading
The final grade is out of 30 possible points, and will be determined by the average of the written and oral exam scores.
For attending students who have taken the midterm exam, the final grade will be determined by the result of the midterm and final oral exams, with their scores proportional to the total amount of course subject matter covered in each.
Evaluation criteria
The exam is aimed at ascertaining, in addition to acquiring the required knowledge, that students have acquired sufficient analytical skills. In particular, the test is aimed at verifying:
- the depth and breadth of the acquired knowledge
- the property of language
- the ability to connect knowledge in a systematic form
- analytical and argumentative ability
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
