Students will be required to complete a pre-study online diagnostic test to check their understanding of the key academic law subjects, known at the Functioning Knowledge Quiz
The test is to ensure that students’ knowledge of the core academic principles is up to date.
This course comprises teaching of the six legal skills outlined in the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA’s) assessment specification:
Students will typically have to study 1 unit per week and each unit will take approximately 10 hours to complete. Each unit follows our unique dynamic learning model: Prepare, Engage, Consolidate (PEC).
Prepare. The Prepare stage includes a rich mixture of learning activities taking approximately six hours: manual reading, multi-media, the completion of preparatory tasks and test your knowledge quizzes.
Engage In the Engage stage, students will undertake learning activities in the virtual learning environment where they apply the knowledge or practice the skill, they have acquired in the Prepare stage. The Engage stage (which should take approximately two hours) is delivered by a combination of asynchronous learning activities and LSSSs. which can be scheduled at any time during the day and recorded for students who cannot attend.
Consolidate. Students will then be required to complete the Consolidate stage taking approximately two hours using the University’s virtual learning environment, which will involve a mixture of short consolidation learning activities. Mocks for each of the written skills will be released after unit 3 of each written skill. Mocks for the oral skills will be scheduled in one of the weeks after unit 3 and before unit 5 of that oral skill .
