What is Project-based Learning?

The following principles apply to teaching and studies at the B.A. level in the School of Law.

• The studies, teaching and evaluation should be project-oriented. 
• The emphasis should be on varied teaching methods and methods of valuation and considered feedback to students.
  
• The organisation of courses, teaching and evaluation should be consistent with prospective learning outcomes, degrees and courses.
•  Teaching should be conducted in general classes, discussion periods and working periods and take the form of assignments as decided by the supervising teacher at any time.
• The course material and teaching should be designed to provide students with a sound academic basis and effective training in its use. The focus should be on critical thinking and independence in working practices.
• Training in the resolution of legal issues should be at the core of the pedagogic approach of the School of Law. Students should have training in applying legal methodology in the context of teaching in all courses of law, even where this does not form a part of the evaluation of learning outcomes.
•  Course supervisors should decide on the evaluation of performance. Evaluation of performance should reflect the points of focus in the teaching of individual courses.
• The resolution of practical assignments should form a part of the evaluation in all core courses involving the study of law.
• Mid-term examinations and final examinations should at a maximum account for 70% of the total performance evaluation in individual core subjects.1
• Studies and teaching in third-year electives are subject to the rules on masters studies in the School of Law.
