5.1. Methodological overview
This course combines both theoretical and practical aspects. Its teaching requires a combination of lecturing and case-method-oriented sessions as well as individual out-of-class student work. This out-of-class work will be oriented and monitored by the professor in charge of the course.
5.2. Learning tasks
1 Lectures: Lectures by the professor have to be combined with case-solving sessions so that the students can show their analysis and problem-solving skills. There are 30 hrs of lectures. The knowledge and skills acquired by attending lectures will enhance students’ performance when participating in case-solving sessions and when doing their out-of-class work.
2
Case-solving sessions: to get the most out of these sessions, the group is divided into two subgroups. There are 30 hrs of case-solving sessions. Through case-method sessions, students are motivated to participate in class and to develop not only their skills in identifying and analysing legal problems but also their oral expression abilities.
To follow these sessions, students are required to do some legal and judiciary research in Law databases. These sessions will help students to become familiar with legal terms and expressions.
3 Tutorials and seminars: The aforementioned activities are completed with tutorials and seminars that are quite useful to solve students’ queries about the topics dealt with in lectures and case-solving sessions. Through these tutorials and seminars, the students’ out-of-class work can be oriented and monitored.

Autonomous learning or student-centred learning:
Students’ out-of-class work is essential for their learning.
This out-of-class work consists of:
- Reading the materials handed out or set by the professor.
- Information and materials search and analysis.
- Analysing and solving cases set by the professor.
- Personal study of the materials dealt with in the lectures and case-solving sessions.

(*) Although English is widely used in all fields of knowledge, it is a complicated and sometimes misleading language when trying to refer to Spanish Law isntitutes. This is particularly evident in Civil Law concepts that are quite difficult to translate into legal English.
