Teaching methods
The course consists in a frontal lessons. In relation to the limitations and rules of conduct imposed by the health emergency still present in this A.A., the activities will take place in telepresence through the use of the Teams and Elly platforms. In particular, lessons will be held in synchronous mode (via Teams), then uploaded to the Elly page of the course. During the lessons in synchronous (direct) mode, mainly frontal approaches will alternate with others characterized by interaction, where possible, with students.
During the teaching activity the characteristics of each institution will be highlighted, as well as the general issues related to their application will be discussed; in particular, some jurisprudential cases will be presented and discussed, among the most relevant in reference to the institutions dealt with during the lessons.
Assessment methods and criteria
The final exam consists in a oral test.
During the first semester, in the persistence of the health emergency and depending on its evolution, the exam may take place either in mixed mode (i.e. in the presence, but with the possibility of taking it even remotely for students who do request to the teacher), or only online for everyone (at a distance). Of the chosen modality, between the two indicated, information will be promptly given on the esse3 system in advance of the exam.
During the exam, students will be asked at least two questions aimed at verifying:
- the knowledge and the comprehension of the contests of the course;
- the knowledge of the doctrinal and case law matters;
- the capability of solving concrete cases;
- the use of an appropriate technical and legal language.
Sufficient will be achieved when the student has shown knowledge, understanding of the institutes and the ability to apply theoretical knowledge to concrete cases.
Students attending during this A.A. will be able to take the exam in two parts: a first partial test relating only to the part of the program relating to trade union law at the end of the middle of the course, roughly in January or February, through an oral interview, whose date and modalities will be communicated during the course of the lessons; and a second test, also through an oral test, relating to the employment relationship (and together with the program of Module II) by the last exam of the summer session (exam in July).
The evaluation will be given by the weighted average of the marks obtained in the two partial. In the evaluation of the partial exam, as well as in the final one, the same criteria for verifying the knowledge acquired above will be followed.
Other information
During the exam the students CAN consult the normative texts.
A good knowledge of the civil institutes of reference is required to pass the exam. In particular: unrecognized associations; obbligations; representation; nullity.
In order to facilitate the consolidation of the preliminary knowledge required for the understanding of the topics covered in class, some clarifying meetings will be organized on this point:

- as regards Module II, following the procedures provided for in the point "teaching methods", in the first weeks of lessons of the reference module.
