The teaching staff will indicate to the students, at the beginning of the course, the topics they should work on and the recommended sources of study material (mainly legal texts).

Students will prepare the subjects autonomously, prior to the teaching sessions, studying them in a complete and rigorous way. Upon arrival in the classroom and during the first hour of class, the teacher in charge will cover the study content planned for that day and resolve any student queries that may have arisen. In the second hour, the students will present, orally, the topic or topics planned for that day. For the oral presentation, the methodology will be the same used for public function, enabling students to demonstrate they have fully assimilated and understand perfectly the knowledge learnt previously.

The subject will be assessed by grading the oral presentation of the topics by the students in the second hour of each lesson but final exam values 100%.

The exam will be recorded and will content in oral presentation of one of the topics given during the second semester, chosen at random.

The dynamics will be exactly the same as that followed in the first-semester subject "Fundamental Topics of Public and Private Law I".

Students, following the teacher's guidance, will be responsible for acquiring the necessary materials at the beginning of the course.
