EXAM DESCRIPTION

The exam consists of an oral test held on the dates of the exam sessions published in the official calendar. The oral test includes at least three questions that the candidate is asked to answer, possibly divided into more specific questions, in order to be able to evaluate the degree of in-depth preparation.
Attending students can access (by registering on Aulaweb with the methods and terms that will be announced in class) an intermediate written test. Passing the intermediate test (with a score of at least 18/30) allows you to take the final exam on the remaining attendance programme.
The score reported in the intermediate test is valid for all exam sessions of the academic year in which it was acquired.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

The exam aims to verify the student's actual knowledge and acquisition of basic theoretical notions as well as her ability to identify and apply the reference standards to specific cases. Through the questions it will be verified whether the student is able to:
- explain legal concepts using appropriate technical language;
- identify, distinguish, know and apply the main regulatory provisions that regulate the conduct of individual and collective working relationships;
- understand and interpret, with a critical spirit and independent judgement, the main legislative texts as well as the texts of some fundamental sentences discussed in class.
