| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
LOs 1-5Lectures provide a knowledge base for students while tutorials provide practical exercises to give experience of problem-based learning in groups and individually; coursework allows students to demonstrate ability to explain and discuss legal principles with reference to legal authority.LOs 1-5 Key employability skills/ PDP/ scholarship skills: these are embedded and assessed. As regards research and information retrieval, students are expected to research using a variety of legal resources a selected problematic area of law within the range of topics in the module and to come to a balanced and informed view of that area; as regards communication, written communication skills, promoting accuracy of expression and the importance of drafting, are assessed in both coursework and examination. This will be of paramount importance to later practice within the legal profession. LOs 1-5 Assessment (formative and summative): formative assessment occurs from time to time, throughout the module, where written answers to selected problem questions may be handed in and marked in order to provide feedback to students on their progress. Summative assessment occurs generally in week 8 with a written assignment in the form of a report giving advice to a public body on a problematic area of property law. There is also a final examination.LOs 1-5 Research/ teaching linkages: students are expected to keep abreast of recent developments and current literature in the law, to refer to it in their work and to discuss it in tutorials. Feedback from formative assessments will develop research skills further.LOs 1-5 Supporting equality and diversity: materials are provided in hard and soft (WebCT) formats, to ensure they are available to all students.LOs 1-5 Internationalisation: where relevant the law from other jurisdictions within the area of property law is considered.
