Assessment methods
The exam consists of one question cast by ballot among a list of questions previously circulated through the students' e-mailing list. The list of questions covers the entire programme of the course and, therefore, students are expected to be able to expound all topics addressed in class.
The exam takes into account the following elements:
- knowledge of the substance;
- consistency and completeness in the exposition;
- correct use of legal terminology;
- ability to express oneself in a clear and concise manner.
The grade is not subject to discussion or negotiation.
The student may decide to withdraw from the exam before or immediately after the grade has been stated.
Textbooks and Reading Materials
A number of papers and the relevant legal texts are collected in a syllabus that is distributed to all students.
