The standard teaching is combined with tutoring sessions both in Law and in Economics.
The aim of this innovative format is to foster students' critical skills through traditional teaching in class and regular personal meetings with senior expert scholars in one and half-hour sessions, twice a month.
The introduction of tutoring stems from the observed heterogeneity and unevenness of students' academic background in Law or in Economics, which inevitably leads to different demands of instruction. The mission of the senior tutors is meant to deal with the fundamentals only and give guidance and support to students in the process of preparing the dissertation proposal. The senior tutors must not therefore cover the role of thesis supervisors.
The Tutorial Activity will consist of 1.5 hrs meetings with assigned students every 2 weeks from February until July. Tutors must report to the Ph.D. Secretariat at Collegio Carlo Alberto about the attendance and participation of the students. Any issue on students' performance will have to be discussed with the program coordinator.
Each Tutor will be required to keep record of the meetings indicating place, time and topic covered. The tutee will have to sign the register at each session.
By the end of July, each Tutor must deliver to the Doctoral Board a report on
- the results achieved in the tutorials
- the participation and research aptitute shown by the Ph.D. candidate
- advice on the future academic path
The Tutors' report will be carefully considered by the Doctoral Board when approving admissions to the II year.
