AIMS AND CONTENT

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course aims to ensure, alongside the basic theoretical knowledge of general administrative law, the learning of the fundamental notions of urban planning law, building legislation and public works.

Individual study, attendance at lessons and participation in the proposed training activities will allow the student to achieve the following learning outcomes:

- understand and remember the structure of the sources of Italian law, the essential elements and characteristics of the administrative provision, the phases of the administrative procedure, as well as, in particular, the fundamental institutes of urban planning, building titles and regimes and the procedure relating to public Works;

- know the legal institutions mentioned above and the related principles;

- identify and apply the main reference standards, starting from the analysis of concrete problems;

- read and examine, even with independent judgement, the legal rules and jurisdictional provisions relating to issues related to the subject of teaching;

- express themselves in appropriate technical-juridical language.

TEACHING METHODS

The teaching consists of a total of 40 hours, to be carried out in frontal lessons. In-depth seminar lessons on specific topics are envisaged, to be held preferably remotely, with optional attendance.

The frontal lessons concern the topics indicated in the teaching programme, with an examination of the sector legislation and certain applicable jurisdictional provisions.

All the teaching material viewed in class is made available to students on the AulaWeb page specifically dedicated to the course.

Only attending students are also offered the possibility of carrying out, during the course, an intermediate written test, which does not have an exemption value, but whose positive outcome leads to the achievement of a score, which can be used, if the student declares it during the exam official, for the formation of the final grade. Attendance means attendance at at least two thirds of the lessons and is calculated with reference to the entire course of the lessons.

Further information relating to the progress of the intermediate test or the final exam will eventually be provided to students in class and, in this case, published on the AulaWeb page dedicated to the course.

The eligibility obtained in the intermediate test is valid until the end of the calendar year, therefore until the autumn session included.

If the student prefers not to take the intermediate test or does not pass it, the final oral exam will cover the entire program.

In general, the following are evaluated: correctness of presentation; the use of the basic lexicon of legal sciences; the ability to describe and contextualize the institutes studied. The evaluation criteria also include: the completeness of the topics covered; the overall construction of the response; the order in the sequence of concepts; any links established between different topics covered in the course; the effective understanding of the substance of what is exposed; the critical capacity of the candidate; the ability to place the answers within the general principles of administrative law.
