Description
The lecture is held in German. It teaches basic knowledge of media law. It is structured with interactive elements and explanations based on case studies. In the lecture, students learn legal methodology, basic structures and principles of media law, and an overview of the various sub-areas of media law using case studies. They are encouraged to identify legal peculiarities through interactive participation. The definitions of key legal terms are always taught with reference to specific case studies. In the lecture, participants also learn to independently solve specific legal questions in the context of media law by applying the definitions and legal methodology they have learned. The lecture also presents students with completely unfamiliar case studies to which they must apply the knowledge they have learned.
Prerequisites
Module participants should have an interest in legal topics. It is not necessary to have previously attended a course covering legal topics or to have prior knowledge of law.
Examination
The module examination consists of a written exam (duration: 90 minutes). The exam consists of answering questions and working through small case studies in the context of media law issues. The multiple-choice questions allow students to demonstrate their knowledge of the legal principles and structure of media law. In addition, students demonstrate their understanding of the fundamentals of social media platform regulation. By working on small case studies, students demonstrate their ability to interpret the legal principles they have learned, their basic legal knowledge, and the methodology they have been taught, and to apply them to unfamiliar situations in the context of platform regulation and media law.
