Metodi didattici

For Attending Students

Lectures aim to provide students with the elements and tools necessary to understand and analyse the international regulation of emergency situations and related protection policies. Active student participation will be encouraged through the discussion of concrete and current cases, which will be analysed during class sessions, as well as through debates and reflection activities, including individual and group work.

For Non-Attending Students

In addition to making course materials used during lectures available—primarily through the University’s eLearning platform (LOL)—non-attending students will have access to specific opportunities aimed at presenting the course and exploring its key aspects.

The digital platforms LOL and Microsoft Teams will be used and may also support distance learning methods, in accordance with the guidelines set out by the Degree Program Boards.

Students who have submitted certification of disability or specific learning disorders (SLD) to the Registrar’s Office are advised to contact the instructor at the beginning of the course—also through University Service for Disability and SLD (https://www.unistrapg.it/it/vivere-il-campus/servizi/servizi-per-studenti-con-dsa-e-disabilita, mail: sdda@unistrapg.it) to arrange any necessary compensatory or exemption measures and adapt teaching accordingly.

Metodi di accertamento

Assessment methods are designed to verify the adequate acquisition of the tools and knowledge necessary to understand and deepen the key features and elements of emergency situations, regulation and related protection policies. To this end, the final exam will aim to assess the level of knowledge and skills acquired by the student, including through the analysis of concrete cases, which will help to reconstruct the fundamental categories and elements characterising international law.

For students with disability or SLD (Specific Learning Disabilities) certifications, the exam modalities will be agreed upon based on specific needs, in consultation with the University Service for Disability and SLD.
