Teaching methods
During lessons, reference will be made to the normative texts, the most significant jurisprudential precedents and doctrinal reflections.
Lessons offer a critical analysis of some of the main themes of substantive administrative law and administrative justice; attendance allows for the development of the skills and knowledge necessary to successfully pass the exam and the students' active participation in lessons through the illustration of the topics agreed with the teacher and the discussion and comparison in the classroom between the attending students and between the students and the teacher.
In any case, individual study and in-depth study are essential and it is recommended to begin before the beginning of the course and then continue in parallel with the lessons so that learning occurs day after day essentially through attendance and the contextual study and in-depth analysis of the individual topics.
Other teachers or experts may be invited to hold some lectures, in order to offer students a wide range of contributions or food for thought.
The course schedule with the related topics will be published before the start on the website of the course in the Ariel University online teaching portal (ariel.unimi.it). Notices relating to any changes, the materials accompanying the lessons and the day and time of office hours for students and any other useful information will also be published on the aforementioned website.
