Knowledge of fundamentals of private law and constitutional law (prerequisite).
For the criminal law module, knowledge of basic criminal law is required, preparatory to the exam. Students, attending and non-attending students, are therefore recommended to systematically review the general part of criminal law.
The exam consists of an oral test focused on the whole content of the course. The learning assessment procedures consist of a final oral exam covering the entire program, either face-to-face or remotely according to the indications of the University, during which the candidate will be asked to report, through the use of gradually more specific questions, the knowledge and methodologies acquired.
The final grade will be expressed in a grade from 18 to 30. It will take into account the knowledge and ability to adequately report the contents of the program (60%), the ability to interpret with solid arguments, to connect with correct logic and systemic vision the institutes studied and to relate the institutes treated with the peculiarities of new technologies (30%) and finally the technical-expressive capacity (10%). For the purposes of the assessment, effective and active participation in teaching activities is also taken into account.
The course introduces students to the civil and criminal law problems posed by the use of new technologies. It aims to apply the categories of private and substantive criminal law to some of the phenomena related to the advent of new information technologies and / or artificial intelligence.
The module also aims to improve, in the student, the ability to use the juridical language appropriately and to argue the conclusions presented with autonomy of judgment by stimulating a careful approach to problem solving dynamics, thus also favoring the refinement of communicative-relational skills.
