A reflection on teaching law to non-A level law students: assessing law units on (some) vocational courses or, what the majority of FE students actually do. Lynn Cherrill-Teesdale Oaklands College, Hertfordshire. LCT ALT 29 Jan

Oaklands College, Hertfordshire Two campuses St Albans Welwyn Garden City 10,000 students 3,000 full-time 16 – 19 year old Offer everything from courses for students with multiple physical and learning disabilities to degrees in civil engineering. LCT ALT 29 Jan

Oaklands College Majority of courses are vocational. Assessment on vocational courses is criterion based. Primarily course work, though this is changing to a mixture of exams and course work. Law on forms a small part of most vocational courses e.g. a module or as part of a module. LCT ALT 29 Jan

You don’t need a law degree On most vocational courses law is taught by non-lawyers. Examples: Health and Safety law for construction students is taught by construction lecturers. Animal welfare law is taught by veterinary nurses or animal scientists. And if you do have a law degree, and teach in a business studies department, be prepared: To teach any other business subject that is thrown at you. LCT ALT 29 Jan
