Teaching methods
The didactic activities will be conducted through oral lectures, for the duration of 36 hours. During the lessons, which focus, from time to time, on the in-depth study of some institutions in the field of family law, dialogue with the class will be privileged
Assessment methods and criteria
The final evaluation, with a mark out of thirty, follows an oral test which includes at least three questions, with reference to the recommended texts and in the parts indicated. The final test aims to assess whether the student has knowledge and understanding of the institutions and has acquired the interpretative competence of jurisprudential rulings. The sufficiency threshold will be reached when the student has shown knowledge and understanding of the institutes, as well as minimum application skills in relation to the autonomous, critical and reasoned presentation of the jurisprudential rulings. Below these thresholds, the examination will be insufficient. The grade of the oral exam is communicated immediately at the end of the exam itself
