Salient. Victoria University Student Newspaper. Volume 38, Number 26. 1975

1. Introduction

1. Introduction

The articles introduced under the title Times Change in Law Fac.' October 2 1975 contain many factual inaccuracies. This rejoinder is in two parts. The first part concerns the socratic or case-method of teaching and second concerns in-term assessment.

Salient claims that the present Dean of the Faculty, John Thomas, is responsible for the change in law teaching methods which "is spreading throughout the Law Faculty." The introduction reads "the 'Socratic Method' is a new innovation which comes from East Coast American universities." These statements are wrong.
