Teaching methods
The teaching will be delivered through frontal lessons (supported by slides downloadable from the ARIEL platform) in which a constant interaction with the students will be required.
Teaching Resources
Students are required to study the material made available for them on the ARIEL website (pay attention: the material will be different for attending and non-attending students)
Assessment methods and Criteria
The expected learning outcomes will be ascertained through an oral exam which will tend to verify the effective understanding of the complex dynamics underlying the recent evolution of the European Union Labour Law.
To pass the exam an assessment of at least 18/30 is required. The final grade may always be refused by the student.
For the attending students - for whom the possibility of a pre-appeal is foreseen - the oral examination will consist of two tests: a power point presentation on a subject chosen by the student among those covered by the programme and an oral interview. Both the tests (aimed at verifying the student's ability to apply the knowledge acquired in class) will take place in the manner indicated in class.
