Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
The learning and teaching methods for this Module are a combination of online lectures and face-to-face tutorials. This approach enables you to be introduced to and consider key concepts, policies, regulations, law and issues relating to the three themes of the Module relative to law, legal practice and information technology (Regulation, Risk, Practice). The tutorials will enable lively discussion of topics relating to these three themes and the challenges arising from information technology on access to justice, the rule of law and legal practice. The overarching objective of the learning and teaching methods is to equip you with an understanding of the role and influence of information technology on law and legal practice in the 21st century.
|
Formative assessment will be by way of active tutorial discussion of tutorial questions.
|
The Module will be assessed by way of two essays (coursework). Both essays will be worth 50% of the mark for the Module. Each essay will be 2500 words in length. The essays will be suitable spaced out during trimester one to (a) assess knowledge and understanding on the range of topics across the three themes and (b) enable feedback on the first coursework to be received well in advance of the second coursework. The first coursework will be a set question which you must attempt. The second coursework will be set on the remaining range of topics in the Module. You will be allowed to focus on one topic from a range of the set questions. This will enable independent learning and research skills and encourage a critical analysis/mindset which reflects the content and level of this Module.
