TEXTBOOKS (one of the two alternatives):
G. PRESTI - M. RESCIGNO, Corso di diritto commerciale, Bologna, Zanichelli, 2017, 8th Edition. Volume I: only Lessons from I to IV ("Il diritto commerciale", "L'imprenditore", "Categorie di imprenditori e normative applicabili", e "L'azienda, i segni distintivi e la proprietà intellettuale"). Volume II: the entire book, with the exception of Lessons XXXIII ("Le società per azioni quotate in mercati regolamentati") and XXXVI ("Trasformazione, fusione e scissione. Profili di diritto internazionale") and with the exception of paragraph 3.4.3. of Lesson XXXV ("Il bilancio consolidato") (approx. 400 pages in total).
The same textbook is available also in a single volume (also published in 2017), which has exactly the same content.
If published in the meantime, students will also be able to choose:
P. LUCARELLI (edited by), Diritto Commerciale, Volume I “Fonti, fattispecie, strumenti”. The Volume should be available by November 2018.
If the text is published, students will be informed in advance of such publication and on the parts of the program that can be prepared on the new textbook.
The slides of part of the lectures will be uploaded on the online page of the Course (Moodle platform). Those slides are necessarily concise and cannot replace the textbook, but can be used as an outline for the study of the textbook.

Type of Assessment - Part A
The final exam shall be taken at the end of the course. Intermediate exams will be consider to determine the final grade only if the student has succeeded (and has accepted the grade).
The final exam will be an oral examination.
The oral examination consists of two or three broad questions (advise against role learning), besides possible more specific questions, whenever this is required to better evaluate the candidate. One question at least deals with company law.
INTEMEDIATE EXAM:
All students may attend an intermediate exam, which will take place during the course.
The intermediate exam will be a written examination; it consists of multiple choice questions and/or essay questions. One or more essay questions could consist in solving or analysing a case study.
If the intermediate exam is not passed or the student does not intend to accept the grade, the intermediate examination will not be considered for determining the final grade. The final exam will then be on the subjects of the entire programme.
On the contrary, if the student has passed the intermediate examination (and accepted the grade), the exam will focus only on the remaining parts of the program.
EVALUATION CRITERIA: The candidate will be evaluated not only for his/her knowledge of the topic, but also for his/her reasoning skills. During the examination (intermediate or final) candidates will have to show ability to find and discuss the relevant rules for the matter (primarily, the Civil Code), which they will be allowed to read. The candidate will be evaluated not only for his/her knowledge of the topic, but also for his/her reasoning skills.
It is also necessary to show ability to master the general rules of Private law on which Commercial law is based.
