Case studies and case analysis is one of the methods of discovering
law in books to support the law in action. Similarly problem oriented studies is
ideal for generating interest among the students. Teaching will be by lecture
method supplemented by class room discussions, tutorials and problem
solving. The lectures will give the students an overall view of the topic. The
tutorial will provide an opportunity for discussion. All doubts regarding the
subject could be raised in the class. The teacher will clear the doubts then and
there. If the question cannot be answered at that point of time, it will be dealt
with later on as decided by the teacher. The teacher will be available in the
campus throughout the working hours.

The teacher can be approached for

clarification of any doubt regarding the subject even after the class hours. The

lecture will be mainly on the topics mentioned in the course outline. Students
are expected to attend the lectures regularly and actively participate in the
discussions. They are expected to read the portions from the text books and
come to the class. Necessary reading materials will be provided to the students
on the subject to the maximum possible extent. No doubts should be left un
clarified and the teacher should be consulted for that purpose. All students
are expected to bring the bare act every day in the class.

EVALUATION SYSTEM

marks. The total 100 mark is divided into 50 marks for the Internal
Assessment and 50 marks for the End Semester Examination. Out of 50
marks, 30 marks are allotted for Mid Semester Examination, 20 marks for two
