The course is conducted through various learning activities, including a combination of traditional lectures, task-solving, group work, digital learning activities, and self-study. The main focus of organized teaching is on lectures and group work.
Each topic covered in lectures is further elaborated upon and discussed in smaller working groups of 20-25 students. The work in these groups is led by academic staff and involves practical task-solving, discussions, oral presentations, reflection, and review of proposed solutions. The material used in these groups may cover topics across courses in the current semester.
As part of the organized working groups, students are divided into study groups of 4-5 students. Work in these study groups aims to develop the ability to solve relevant problems and discuss methodological questions with fellow students. Students' ability to convey and argue their viewpoints, both orally and in writing, is developed through group work.
For a successful learning outcome, students are expected to actively participate in all learning activities, including working groups and study groups.
Students will have the opportunity to submit written assignments for grading and feedback. Legal databases like Lovdata Pro and other relevant resources will be actively used throughout the learning activities.
In addition to the defined curriculum, court decisions and public documents will constitute materials used in teaching and other learning activities.
