According to him, the text is the only extensive book that is published by an American law school that discusses U.S. law in the French language. Corcos, who also speaks French, said she has enjoyed this interactive, bilingual experience. She mentioned, however, that the course is still experimental and could use some refining. Corcos said the LSU law school uses the Socratic method of teaching, a method that teaches students by asking questions. She would like to see the Ottawa students more engaged in the class so they may pose more questions, she said.
Instructors see and interact with students using real-time television cameras and the Internet.
The technology allows professors to see their students and focus on class materials. Law students need to gain as much information about other cultures as possible, she said, because they are the ones who make the rules for society. Corcos also said she hopes the course will continue with the University of Ottawa. Levasseur is negotiatinging with the university to ensure its continuation and plans are being made to create a cross-Atlantic broadcast for the students of the University of Lyon in France. The annual event, hosted by the LSU Student Chapter of the American Veterinary Medical Association, will begin with the 5K race for humans at 8 a.m.
