Metodi didattici

International Trade Law applies a ‘Flipped Class’ approach to the student learning experience. As such, this course features pre-class work and interactive workshops. Pre-class work is independent and includes textbook readings as well as reflective questionnaires. In the workshops, the emphasis is on inquiry-based learning, which involves active student participation in legal problem-solving activities within small groups. These activities build on the pre-class work, so its completion before each workshop is essential. Overall, this course requires you to build personal capabilities in professional behaviour, self-direction, team-work, persuasive discussion and presentation skills.
