Teaching Methodology
The methodology of teaching will be primarily lectures since most students will be exposed to Constitutional Law concepts for the very first time in their academic careers. However, the lecture method will be substantially corroborated by participative activities such as students being asked to argue cases based on Conflicting points (Moot Court), or students to draft a legal opinion about applicability of some legal provision to a factual situation (Opinion Writing) and discussing articles or theme papers on various doctrines /cases to initiate a critical analysis of the view expressed therein (critical Comment).

Requirements
The students are expected to reciprocate the class initiatives by completing the assigned tasks in designated time limits. Being ready with library referencing before class discussions for some concepts, will be highly recommended for better understanding of the themes. Such topics will be marked and announced beforehand to allow reasonable time for preparations. Attendance in the class is compulsory. Submissions and assignments will be scheduled as per completion of relevant topics in the due course.
