Project Title: Learning by Doing: Mooting and Professional Negligence
Project Leader(s): A.Manji, T.Dugdale and D.Buss
A moot is a simulated appeal court hearing in which legal arguments for a claimant and defendant are presented by two pairs of students and a reasoned judgment is then given by the presiding member of staff or student. It is an exercise in structured argument. It provides student with an opportunity to examine a narrow issue in considerable depth, consider the argumentative strategy to be used, prepare a written outline of the argument, and give an oral presentation of the argument which includes the opportunity to rebut arguments of other side. The moots will be videoed and students will learn not just from doing but reflecting on what they have done.Introducing this project as a compulsory element in a core level 2 law Module will strengthen the law programme in key benchmarking skills such as legal research, oral and written argument, problem solving and group work. It will also assist the development of transferable skills such as analysis, synthesis and critical judgment.

Project Title: Video as a Tool for Self-assessment of UG Oral Presentation
Project Leader(s): Paul Yates and Dave McGarvey
Project SummaryThe project will be piloted on a voluntary basis (student consent) during 1st and 2nd year Chemistry/BMC student presentations in the Spring Semester of 2000-2001.
All students giving oral presentations (videoed or not) will be peer-assessed using the assessment form attached, as is current practice.
Students whose presentations have been videoed will be asked to carry out a self-assessment after viewing the video of their presentation.
As a means of evaluating the project, students whose presentations have been videoed will be asked to complete an evaluation questionnaire (this will include a comparison of ‘peer assessment’ versus ‘self-assessment through video’).
Academic staff involved in the project will also complete an evaluation of the project.
It is anticipated that the pilot project will be completed by the end of Spring Semester 2001.
Dissemination
The experiences gained from this project will be disseminated within the University through a KTN presentation and more widely through a presentation at the annual ‘Variety in Chemistry Teaching’ meeting and/or through publication in the journal ‘University Chemistry Education’.
