- Teaching methods
- The course is taught in the form of lectures (once every 14 days) and follow-up seminars (once a week). The lectures explain the essential topics, which are further discussed in the seminars. The primary tool is the ASPI legal information system, which students will learn to navigate and use to search for legal information. Some of the seminar time is allocated to completing case studies with the help of the ASPI system: students first try to find a solution a legal issue, and then the procedure and result are explained by the teacher.
- Assessment methods
- The course is assessed through a written exam using the ROPOT in IS; the exam takes place in the VT classroom in the ESF premises.
To take the final exam, the student must have met the compulsory attendance requirement (max. three absences per semester) and obtained sufficient points through active participation during the seminars (at least 6 points).
Students with an ISP or an internship are given examples to complete at regular intervals instead of attending seminars. They can earn points for processing them (as an alternative to activity points).
To complete the course, students must obtain at least 60 points in total from the exam (max. 100 points). When achieving the minimum of 60 points, points obtained for active participation in seminars during the semester (min. 6 points) are also included in the final evaluation.
Caution: Any copying, recording, or leaking of the exam; use of unauthorised tools, aids, or communication devices; or other disruptions of the objectivity of exams (credit tests) will be considered noncompliance with the conditions for course completion as well as a severe violation of the scholastic rules. A student found in violation will have a grade of ‘F’ recorded in the Information System, and the Dean will initiate disciplinary proceedings that may result in suspension or expulsion. The aforementioned disciplinary procedure relates to all the activities comprising the final evaluation of the course. - Language of instruction
