The presentation will conclude with a series of questions or issues to be pursued by the class. As there will be a selection of cases and readings each week, more than one student may present each week. The only limitation is that students must choose a different reading to present. The class handout should be submitted to the lecturer preferably by 5 pm the Friday before, or by 9 am on the day of presentation at the latest. Participation Participation is structured and unstructured.
Structured participation refers to a student's performance in set tasks allocated on a weekly basis.
Unstructured participation relates to, inter alia, attendance and demonstrated familiarity with the literature and the flow of class argument. Research Paper Students will be strongly encouraged to formulate their own research question to pursue in the research paper, in consultation with the lecturer. Ideally, students should pursue a research question arising from any of their presentation handouts. Although this is primarily a law based subject, students are encouraged in their research papers to at least consider how the legal issues may be affected by applying empirical questions or by applying the literature from other disciplines. The research paper is to be 5,000 - 6,000 words in length.
