Assessment methods and criteria
The exam consists of an oral examination on the topics of the program. In the oral exam, questions will be addressed on the foundations of economic criminal law and on criminal law related to the Public Administration, on its specificities, on the main offenses. It will also be verified that the student is able to use the specific terminology of the discipline. For those attending the course, it will be taken into account attendance and related exercises and the program will be agreed at the end of the course.
In the persistence of the health emergency and depending on its evolution, the exam may take place either in mixed mode (i.e. in presence, but with the possibility for students who make a specific request to the Professor to take the oral examination remotely), or only online for all the students (remotely). The choice of the examination method, between the two indicated, will be promptly communicated through the Esse3 platform, in advance of the exam date.
The exam that must be taken remotely will eventually be carried out through the Teams platform (for which the guide is available at: http://selma.unipr.it/). In this case, students may be required to show an identity document at the beginning of the interview, via webcam (possibly covering any sensitive data not relevant for the purpose of taking the exam).
Students with SLD/SEN are invited to report their needs privately, by institutional e-mail to the teacher, well in advance of the exam session.
