Methodology
Students’ learning process in this course is organised around two types of activities:
1. DIRECTED ACTIVITIES
Directed activities are performed in classroom during class-hours under the direction of the lecturer. Directed activities are theoretical activities and practical activities.
In theoretical sessions the lecturer, based on the applicable Law, explains different contents of the course. It is necessary that all students have an updated compilation of procedural normative.
Practical sessions can, among others, consist of case-resolutions, analysis and discussion of court-judgements, oral presentations, debates, etc. Students, alone or in little groups, carry out these activities.
2. AUTONOMOUS ACTIVITIES
In these activities students, alone or in group, organise their time and effort autonomously.
Autonomous activities include, among others, search and study of bibliography, elaboration of drafts or summaries, search of case-law and preparation of scored activities afterwards in classroom corrected.
In this course most of the autonomous activities are connected to the following-up of theoretical classes, elaboration of practical activities and preparation for the exam.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
