You will be taught through a mix of lectures, seminar discussions and tutorials. A core aspect of the programme is the different learning experience to be expected in the French and Scottish components. At Toulouse, the focus is mainly on lectures or large group seminars. At Dundee, small group teaching (max 20 per class) is favoured. You are given detailed reading lists introducing you to topics and proposing questions to consider during you preparation with a view to promoting critical thinking through interactive class discussions and reliance on the Socratic method.
How you will be assessedYou will be assessed through a combination of exams and essays. The courses taught by Law share a common pattern; those in the autumn semester are assessed by exam and those in the second semester by essays. In each case you will be given a chance to practice this style of assessment and given feedback on your performance before the formal assessment.
This pattern ensures that you gain experience of different styles of assessment, testing both breadth and depth of knowledge and developing writing skills in advance of tackling the Dissertation. The Dissertation is assessed wholly on the basis of the final text that is submitted and Legal Research Skills by a combination of a short essay and a presentation.
