Teaching Methods Classroom lessons: the teaching is structured in 24 hours of frontal teaching divided into 1 weekly lesson of 2 hours each. Frontal teaching consists of theoretical lessons. Seminars: the students will be offered a series of classroom-based tests to verify their learning and understanding of the topics dealt with, based on some practical cases that will be discussed during the course of the lessons.
Attendance is optional, but recommended
Evaluation methods Verification of learning:
The examination consists of an oral test. The arguments reflect those dealt with during the teaching and included in the syllabus.
The final oral test is the same for both attending and non-attending students.
Partial examinations: a partial examination is foreseen in order to facilitate the preparation of the final exam, reserved to the attending students. The final mark is in thirtieth percentile.
LEARNING RESULTS:
a) KNOWLEDGE AND SKILL OF UNDERSTANDING: describe, understand and know how to interpret the rules that constitute the content of the international legal order.
b) CAPABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: autonomy of judgement; knowing how to identify the interaction between the different substantive norms of the international legal order, also linking the different sectors and to be able to identify and resolve conflicts between norms of different content applicable to the same concrete case.
