- As part of the lessons we will be discussing the different contents of the course (see above), especially in light of the most recent EU case-law, with a great focus on the most problematic aspects of the matter. Each specific content of the course will therefore match the discussion of specific EU cases that the students will be called to resolve in specific oral discussions. For students unable to attend the lessons or that find difficult to study the subject, the teacher and the tutor are available (please send an email to fvc@unife.it ). Furthermore, even in the current Academic Year useful slides shall be available (with other teachings materials) on Google Classroom.
The Course will be delivered in person, according to the calendar published on the website of the Degree Program. Soon the Classroom of the Course will be available.
For information it is possible to contact Dr. Samuele Barbieri (samuele.barbieri@unife.it) . Learning assessment procedures
- The exam consists of an oral test. The aim of the exam is to verify at which level the learning objectives of the course have been acquired by the student. In particular, students have to answer three questions on the topics regarding the course program. The final grade will be thus calculated from the average of the individual marks obtained by the student in the different given answers.
