Modalità di verifica dell’apprendimento e criteri di valutazione
For attending students, this subject is examined by a takehome paper on one topic to be chosen among three. The paper is of maximum 5.000 words and must be sent before the exam and discussed during the exam. Class participation and specific presentations are also strongly considered.
The exam aims to verify that the student has acquired the knowledge contained in the programme. The takehome paper allows to ascertain whether they have become able to use, understand and interpret, also in a critical perspective, the different sources of law in a comparative perspective. Also, the takehome paper allows student to carry out, individually, a scientific research in English language, learning how to use the library resources and to use the databases of different Countries and legal systems. Last, both the written examination and the class presentation allow to understand whether students have aquired the sensibility to understand how specific topic and issues (e.g. the right to strike, the individual dismissal, the collective bargaining) have different legal regulations according to the different economic, social and political context which is involved.
