Teaching methods
The course will be offered in blended mode and in Italian. It is structured in pre-recorded video lessons, synchronous classroom lessons, virtual classrooms and collaborative activities (Forum). In the classroom, different learning methodologies will be proposed: explanations, thematic studies, interactive spaces for group discussion and analysis of real cases and situations, to favor the acquisition of theoretical knowledge and the ability to apply knowledge to professional contexts, autonomy of judgment and communication skills
Assessment methods and criteria
The oral exam - which will take place after the end of the lessons - will consist of an interview, covering three different topics among those addressed in the course and lasting about 15 minutes. The candidate will have to demonstrate that he / she has mastered the knowledge relating to the requested topics, demonstrating that he / she knows how to insert them in the general reference context.
Oral exams take place over the course of the educational calendar of the training offer and for each session the student who intends to take it must register using the EsseTre platform.
The test evaluation indicators are:
- Ability to expose knowledge (20%)
- Ability to connect knowledge (20%);
- Mastery of legal language (20%);
- Ability to discuss topics (20%)
- Ability to deepen the topics (20%).
The grade is expressed out of thirty and the achievement of the threshold of 18/30 is necessary for the purpose of passing the exam (ie a reasonably sufficient preparation both from the point of view of the contents and from the point of view of the display language used).
