Communication

The Multiple Choice Exam is designed to examine the breadth of student subject knowledge and understanding across the range of key concepts in Property Law and Application, including the statutory framework and relevant case law (LO1.)



The written advice will provide students with a practical opportunity to respond to a scenario relating to a real-life aspect of Property Law of the type newly qualified lawyers might be expected to meet in practice. They will apply their understanding of the core subject knowledge to the problem in order to give legally correct and clearly expressed advice on the issues (LO 2,3,4,). This will assist in preparing students for practice.

Property Law and Application is a highly relevant subject not only in the professional context but on a daily basis. Studying this subject will help you understand the legal concepts behind home ownership, rental of domestic properties, rights of way and other concepts. We will consider practical application of the law to problems and issues to aid your comprehension of a subject that affects us all.

The majority of learning materials will be presented online asynchronously organised as a series of weekly topics. Students will be encouraged to follow the weekly schedule where this is possible.

Three synchronous online webinars will be held to provide opportunities for live interaction between students and lecturer, to cover an introduction to the module and learning expectations, an assessment guidance session, and a consolidation session prior to the assessment date. These sessions will be recorded for the benefit of students who are unable to attend at the scheduled time.

The online learning materials will be organised as a range of short activities for each topic. Instant feedback will be provided where appropriate on computer-aided tests of knowledge. Summaries and explanations of applied tasks will be available, allowing students to assess their progress against suggested answers.

Tutor-student and peer interaction will be facilitated through the use of collaborative online learning spaces. Students will be able to post questions and queries as they reflect on their own developing understanding of the key subject concepts.
