EXAM DESCRIPTION

The exam is scheduled in oral form with assessment of the preparation on the various topics covered by the program, on the ability to relate the various subjects studied and on the relationships with the other branches of the legal system.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

As a rule, unless different needs resulting from the candidate's answers, the exam is divided into three questions.

The first question is generally a broad question, which allows a structured answer.

In this way it is possible to evaluate the learning of the candidate linked not only to the memorization of specific notions but also to the organization of thought and the articulation of the discourse.

Subject to the evaluation are the completeness of the topics dealt with, the overall construction of the answer, the order in the sequence of the concepts, the possible links established between different topics covered in the course, the actual understanding of the substance of what is exposed, the critical capacity of the candidate, as well as, where possible, placing the answers within the general principles of law.
