This module provides you with some quizzes and case studies, both of which can be used for revision and to test your level of knowledge and understanding of the law you are meant to have learned.
The quizzes are less complex than the case studies. They focus on one area of law at a time, and the questions are more or less independent of each other. They are a good test of your basic knowledge and your understanding of terminology. You will need to read each question carefully and take notice of the details. The advantage of a quiz is that it can be attempted after you have studied the relevant topic. This will give you a good idea of how well you are doing and, if necessary, alert you to the need to do more basic work on your materials.
The case studies are more complex, involving more than one area of law. An ability to identify which areas of law are involved in a particular case, and to select the relevant concepts and rules, is vital to legal problem-solving. It is assumed that you will have already completed your initial study of all the topics listed at the start of each case study, so that you can recognise when particular concepts, rules, cases or legislation should be applied. How well you do with each of the case studies will give you a good indication of whether or not you have a good general overview and understanding of the material you have studied, together with a sufficient knowledge of detail. If you don't do well, then you must go back through the study materials until you get a more complete understanding.
You can do the quizzes and case studies as 'open book' tests. Have your materials to hand, and if you cannot recall the things you need to know, look them up. You will learn more that way than by guessing at answers.
