A/S Law Independent Learning

A/S Law – Independent Learning

It is desirable that pupils use a range of resources in order to acquire further knowledge about the topics studied as well as related topics. This enables pupils to gain both a broader and deeper understanding of the course and reinforces what has been learned in class.

Suggested resources include the following –
