Learning unit contents
The object of this course is the analysis of some general topics concerning human rights in a European context, chosen by the professor and the students, through an analysis of legal literature. During the first year of this course, topics included the birth of the European system of human rights and their typical characteristics, the rights of the child, and certain topics related to health rights (abortion, euthanasia, the commitment of people with mental disorders, etc.).The students themselves are asked to suggest topics.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The study and analysis of general human rights topics serves as a pretext for improving, or at least maintaining, the students' written and above all spoken level of Dutch. The course is interactive, with a smaller class promoting more intensive work. Knowledge of Dutch language skills in the field of law is as important as legal knowledge, both of which are inseparable assets in a legal course taught in Dutch.
Skills developed: take part in a conversation in another language than French in simple conversations on familiar or personal topics; understand the main points when listening to standard language and produce a simple and coherent discourse in the context of professional discussions; present a legal issue to a group using adequate legal terminology.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Minimal active knowledge of Dutch is required; otherwise the student will not be able to participate in class, where attendance is mandatory. Specific knowledge in the field of human rights is not a prerequisite.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Students are expected to have read the text that will be analysed in class, in order to participate actively.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)
Traditional two-hour or three-hour lectures (depending on the schedule) with the active participation of students, based on the analysis of legal literature in Dutch on human rights (legal theory). The course is offered every academic year.
Recommended or required readings
The teacher provides students with texts that serve as the basis for discussions and analyses. Students also take notes during class.
Assessment methods and criteria
Grading will be based on an ongoing evaluation, with emphasis on oral expression and on an individual presentation to the class of a personal "mind map" on a specific legal topic.
Work placement(s)
Organizational remarks
The students attendance and participation in class are taken into account in their final mark.

Assessment subjects
Voor het bepalen van het examencijfer wordt rekening gehouden met:
de realisatie en het bezorgen aan de docent van zowel de persoonlijke mindmap als de individuele presentatie opgenomen in de vorm van een video en dit alles binnen de opgelegde termijnen en met respect van de instructies.
Assessment methods
De individuele presentatie (live) ten overstaan van de professor, gebaseerd op de persoonlijke mindmap van een juridisch onderwerp ivm de mensenrechten als mondeling examen, wordt vervangen door de volgende digitale formule:
a) de student laat de docent vanaf 17 augustus 2020 en ten laatste op 29 augustus 2020 om 24.00u zijn persoonlijke mindmap geworden, en dit als bijlage van een mail tegelijkertijd gericht aan de hoger vermelde 2 mailadressen van de docent (duidelijk leesbare en afprintbare gescande versie in formaat pdf of jpeg van recto en verso van de mindmap)
b) elke student neemt zelf onder het formaat mov of mp4 een korte video op van zijn individuele presentatie (duurtijd ongeveer 12 minuten) gebaseerd op de voormelde mindmap en stuurt deze als bijlage bij een mail tegelijkertijd gericht aan de hoger vermelde 2 mailadressen van de docent vanaf 17 augustus 2020 en ten laatste op 30 augustus 2020 om 24.00u door, zodat de docent de aldus ontvangen videos via unicast onder de vorm van podcasts kan uploaden via de UNICAST lesinhoud van de docent;
Mochten deze modaliteiten niet duidelijk zijn, dan dient de student zijn eventuele vraag per mail te richten aan de professor VOOR de aanvang van de zittijd.
