OVERVIEW

The teaching offers a theoretical and practical framework on the following topics: notion and raison d'être of the procedure; its phases; the rules contained in the general regulations. Act and administrative proceeding: concept, essential and possible elements, classification. Effectiveness and validity of the administrative act.

The teaching is essential not only to access and operate within public administrations, but also within businesses and non-profit organisations, given the frequent relationships that exist between these organizations and public administrations.

AIMS AND CONTENT

- control tools, including those on private economic activities;
- the defects of the administrative acts and the administrative and jurisdictional tools available to eliminate such defects;

PREREQUISITES

A fruitful study of administrative law presupposes a good knowledge of constitutional law, the fundamental institutions of private law and a satisfactory mastery of technical-legal language.

TEACHING METHODS

The teaching consists of 36 hours of lessons in total (for a total of 6 ECTS) held by the teacher in person. Some in-depth lessons on specific topics are planned, which will preferably be carried out remotely.

Only attending students are also offered the opportunity to take an intermediate written test, which does not constitute an exemption, but whose positive result leads to the achievement of a score, which can be used, if the student declares it during the official exam, for the formation of the final grade. Attendance involves attendance at at least two thirds of the lessons and is calculated with reference to the entire cycle of lessons.

Students who have valid certification of disability or Specific Learning Desorders (DSA) on file with the University may request the use of compensatory measures during the exams (e.g. additional time, concept maps, modifications in the written/oral mode), following the guidelines (p. 5) published here. In any case, for further information, please contact the Department’s disability liaison: Isa.Fanlo@unige.it

EXAMS

EXAM DESCRIPTION

A) For attending students

The exam takes place in oral form and aims to verify the ability to delve deeper into and discuss the issues of public administration activity.

However, attending students have the right to take an intermediate written test on the part of the program communicated in class and also via aulaweb. If this test is passed positively, the oral exam will focus on the remaining part of the program.

The eligibility obtained in the intermediate test will remain valid up to and including the autumn session.

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

The final grade is awarded out of thirty. In order to take the test, the student is required to register online for the chosen ordinary session. It is strongly recommended that you cancel your registration if you decide not to take the exam.

B) For non-attending students

The exam takes place exclusively in oral form on the entire program, as indicated above.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

A) For attending students

The possible intermediate test consists of three open-ended questions.

During the oral exam during the official exam, the first question is generally broad in scope, so as to allow the student to present a detailed answer and the teacher to evaluate the candidate's learning with reference both to the memorization of specific notions, as for the organization of thought and the articulation of speech.

The object of evaluation is the completeness of the topics covered, the overall construction of the answer, the order in the sequence of concepts, any connections established between different topics covered in the course, the actual understanding of the substance of what is exposed, the critical ability of the candidate as well as, where possible based on the topic, the ability to place the answers within the general principles of administrative law.

Based on the answer provided to the first question, the next two questions are then formulated, generally more limited and specific. The three questions cover different topics included in the exam program (intermediate or final).

The final grade is awarded out of thirty. In order to take the final exam, the student is required to register online for the chosen ordinary session. It is strongly recommended that you cancel your registration if you decide not to take the exam.
