This guide is not a textbook and it must not be taken as a substitute for  \nreading the texts, cases, statutory materials and journals referred to in it. The purpose  \nof the guide is to take you through each topic in the syllabus for Contract law in a  \nway which will help you to understand contract law. The guide is intended to ‘wrap  \naround’ the recommended textbooks and casebook. It provides an outline of the  \nmajor issues presented in this subject. Each chapter presents the most important  \nsubstantive aspects of the topic and provides guidance as to essential and further  \nreading. Each chapter also provides you with activities to test your understanding of  \nthe topic and self-assessment exercises designed to assist your progress. Feedback  \nto many of these activities is available at the back of this guide. There are also sample  \nexamination questions, with appropriate feedback, which will assist you in your  \nexamination preparation and quick quizzes to measure your progress, with answers  \non the virtual learning environment (VLE). The method of study described is the result  \nof the accumulated experience of highly experienced teachers and writers on this  \ntopic. Your knowledge of the subject will be maximised when you use this guide in the  \nintended way. Any other approach (e.g. reading the feedback before or alongside the  \nself-assessment) might give false confidence in your knowledge and ability to answer  \nquestions under examination conditions.  \nIn the study of contract law, it is essential to try to gain an understanding of the  \nunderlying basis of contract law – what the law is trying to do in response to particular  \nissues. This is then supplemented and exemplified by a more detailed knowledge of  \nits substantive principles. The rote memorisation of rules and cases alone will not  \nequip you to analyse a legal problem or statement of the sort that form the basis of  \nformative and summative examination in this subject. To do this you need to acquire  \nan overview of the topic, understand its structure, parts and inter-relationships. When  \nthis is supplemented by a more detailed knowledge and skills of analysis you will be  \nable to apply the law in written answers that gain maximum credit. To do this it is most  \nlikely that you will need to read passages or chapters in the guide (and the relevant  \nsuggested reading materials) several times in order to understand the principles of  \nlaw being covered.  \nContract law 1 Introduction and general principles page 3  \n1.1 Studying the law of contract  \nAs already stated, this guide is not a textbook nor a substitute for reading the primary  \nmaterials that comprise the law of contract (i.e. cases and statutory materials) . Its  \npurpose is to take you through each topic in the syllabus for Contract law in a way  \nwhich will help you to understand and apply contract law. It provides an outline of the  \nmajor issues presented in this subject. It will also help you prepare to answer the kind  \nof questions the examination paper is likely to contain. Note, however, that no topic  \nwill necessarily be included in any particular examination and that some are more  \nlikely to appear than others. Examination questions may take different forms, though  \nmost in the past have been of a traditional ‘problem’ or ‘essay’ style. The examiners are  \nbound only by the syllabus and not by anything said in – or omitted from – this guide.  \nWhat do we mean by ‘taking you through’ a topic? Very simply it is to spell out what  \nproblems or difficulties t","cbCaiu0vkH4sGiVX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiu0vkH4sGiVX","pdf",436988,67,"English","# Introduction\n## Studying the law of contract\n## Reading\n## Method of working\n## Some issues in the law of contract\n## Plan of the module guide\n## Format of the examination paper","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this Contract law module guide?\",\"answer\":\"It takes learners through the Contract law syllabus topics in a way that helps them understand and apply contract law, including the major issues and guidance for reading and study.\"},{\"question\":\"Is the guide a substitute for textbooks, cases, or statutory materials?\",\"answer\":\"No. It is not a textbook and must not be used as a substitute for the primary materials that comprise contract law, such as cases and statutory materials.\"},{\"question\":\"How should students use the activities and feedback to prepare for examinations?\",\"answer\":\"Students should attempt the activities and answer questions before checking feedback, since relying on immediate feedback can reduce the improvement of exam-answering technique and create false confidence.\"}]","Contract law study guide - Introduction and general principles | PDF",1790034062,169]
