| Teaching and Learning |
|
A variety of teaching
approaches will be adopted in this programme. To develop
students' skills and knowledge, the teaching strategies
used will focus on those that emphasize student-centred
learning, where students take responsibility for their
own learning. Teaching methods will include lectures,
seminars and small group tutorials/workshops. Videos,
case studies, role play exercises and workbased projects
may also be used to support learning. In addition, an
assignment clinic session will be offered to students
after the block teaching to help students prepare the
assessed assignment. |
|
| Student Support |
|
Students are entitled
to access CityU's Run Run Shaw Library and its Law Section,
which consists of over 102,000 volumes of law reports,
statutes, periodicals and textbooks, computer services
and e-learning platform, Blackboard.
Students will also be provided access
to the Wolverhampton On-line Learning Framework (WOLF)
system, a purpose-built, computer-based learning environment
