COURSE METHODS
GROUP PROJECT
Students will be grouped into teams of 4-5 persons for the group project.
The group project will require students to analyse a hypothetical situation
and present the legal issues and arguments, as well as their opinions and
comments. Each group will also be required to submit a written assignment
on a presentation question a day before the presentation.
Plagiarism is strictly forbidden and all materials and ideas gleaned from
other sources should be appropriately attributed.
MID-TERM TEST
A mid-term test will be held midway through the course. The duration of the
test will be between 1 and 1 hours.
FINAL EXAMINATION
The final examination is a 2-hour open book examination. The paper
comprises hypothetical and/or essay questions. Handphones and
communication devices are not permitted during the examination. Laptops
may be used ONLY IF secure browsers are utilized.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
IMPORTANT: Plagiarism is strictly forbidden and may result in a
failed grade. All materials and ideas gleaned from other sources
must therefore be appropriately attributed.
All acts of academic dishonesty (including, but not limited to, plagiarism,
cheating, fabrication, facilitation of acts of academic dishonesty by others,
unauthorized possession of exam questions, or tampering with the academic
work of other students) are serious offences.
