Resources for Business Law gives you a bank of materials in several different forms. This allows variation in delivery
methods not only from week to week, but also from class to class and from year
to year. (This is an updated and expended version of Exercises in Business
Law by Fiona Golby)
CROSSWORDS,
GRIDS AND WORDSEARCHES
all contain a variety of different law
areas. They can be used to enhance
learning in an enjoyable way, their main use being to confirm learning has
taken place. The crosswords and
wordsearches are linked and, therefore, the clues are, to a certain extent,
interchangeable.
BLANKED HAND-OUTS + ANSWERS
can be used across the syllabus. They provide a means of either self‑teaching
or reinforcing other work. All
blanked handouts have corresponding filled handouts, which can be used in two
ways, either as answers to completed the blanks or as handouts in their own
right.
MULTI
CHOICE QUESTIONS + ANSWERS
are an alternative to using blanked handouts
for reinforcing knowledge and cover a variety of different law areas. They combine well with blank handouts
and/or short answer questions.
SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS + ANSWERS
can be used on their own or to accompany
other methods of learning, and are also useful as questions in quizzes,
hangman, and so on, or even as a test.
SHORT CASE STUDIES
Sometimes students need to know more, but
time may be short, or you want to illustrate a theory in practice. A short case study is ideal, and could
be developed later into a full case study or even an assignment. A selection of
different types of case studies is given but, since many textbooks give case
studies of a short and long nature, this section is mainly for ideas.
It is always best to give case studies based on real life situations
which are of interest to the students, for example, what happens when you buy:
a. Faulty jeans
b. A hi-fi that blows-up within three
weeks of purchase from:
i a
friend?
ii a man
in a pub?
iii a shop?
The case studies given are nearly all based
on case law. Thus, not only is
each case study based on real life but also each case study will help the
student understand the case law itself and how case laws can be used to decide
later problems.
ASSIGNMENTS
Like case studies, assignments can be based
on any and every section of the Business Law syllabus. A varied selection is given. Most assignments have been tried, tested
and amended at different times.
Obviously these can be amended to suit the individual requirements of
the tutor and the class.
