Module Learning Strategies
Whole group sessions:- These will mainly be used to introduce broad concepts but will also involve case studies and group exercises where appropriate.
2 hours per week for 22 weeks = 44 hours.
Small group sessions:- These will be used to explore particular aspects of EC law in more detail. They will consolidate and build on the knowledge acquired in the whole group session and will develop the analytical and problem-solving skills on which the students will be assessed.
5 one hour sessions per semester = 10 hours.
