This module is delivered using blended learning, and it is important that you engage fully with all classes, materials and activities as they are designed to work together coherently to support your learning.  Your teaching will consist of a combination of ten activities equivalent to a two-hour lecture and five fortnightly, one-hour tutorials, all of which take place within the context of the structured materials provided on Moodle.
This module incorporates an innovative style of teaching that involves the online provision of a podcast as form of pre-recorded lecture. Each episode of The City Law School’s Law &amp; Society Podcast are co-hosted by the module leaders, with various expert guest academics as interviewees each episode. It is a new form of teaching pedagogy that has institutional funding support which is intended to be of benefit to students and promote inclusivity and diversity.
You will also be allocated to a tutorial group taking place every two weeks during term time (excluding reading week). These will take place on campus and be interactive. You are expected to complete all required reading or activities set by your tutor in advance of your tutorial sessions. Tutorial sessions provide a forum for exploration of issues, analysis, and critical debate, and for airing issues arising from the current state of the law.  Active student participation and involvement is important. You will be expected to prepare fully for tutorials and to participate actively in the discussion. You may also be asked on occasion to make a presentation and/or to lead the discussion. 
All classes will be supported by structured online materials which provide a range of relevant reading, links and other activities for you to complete before, at, and after classes. You will be expected to engage fully with these materials and activities, to ensure that you are fully prepared for classes, and that you fully understand all the topics being covered. 
Your tutors will be available to provide additional academic support on the module normally through scheduled Feedback and Support hours which may be face-to-face, online or by telephone.
