Abstract
Abstract This article gives an account of the author’s experiences when designing and teaching the course module ‘intellectual property law’ within an undergraduate law programme at the University of Stirling, Scotland, UK, in the autumn semesters in the academic years 2003–04 to 2005–06. The module formed part of a business law degree, but was not a compulsory subject. Although relevant pedagogical literature is considered, generally a more practical approach is taken from an academic law lecturer’s, rather than an educationalist’s, viewpoint. After an outline of the content of the intellectual property undergraduate course, which also discusses the reasons for adopting this particular content, the article deals with teaching methods in lectures and seminars, as well as lecturing aids and their advantages and disadvantages. Finally, the author explains his experiences with the assessment methods which he chose for his intellectual property module, including student peer assessment for presentations. The article also comments on the purpose and validity of several types of assessment.
