Students who do not attend the course: oral exam. ASSESSMENT METHODS The students who attend the course will have an exam divided into two parts. In the first one – which will be written - the student will answer to six brief questions regarding those subjects that have been explained during the lessons and the contents of the recommended bibliography. Those who succeed in the first part of the exam will continue with the second, oral part of it. In this moment the student will be expected to offer a deeper account of the responses provided in the first part and to answer other new questions related to the program. The evaluation will take into account the capacity to understand the problems discussed during the course and the ability to analyse the argument for and against the different philosophical thesis. The students who do not attend the course will have only an oral exam. Also in this case the evaluation will take into account if the students have acquired the relevant concepts and those analytical capacities necessary to approach the central debates of the Philosophy of Law.
