| Required/Recommended Readings | In the first lesson, they will be given a list of books and articles that they will read as "compulsory" and "optional". |
| Teaching Methods | In the first lessons, the "main framework" specific to political parties law and the "main issues" in this context will be emphasized.
In line with this "main framework", students will be evaluated on which subjects they want to study and the topics will be determined.
Then, for a few weeks, the subjects taken by the students will be discussed one by one and the personal development of each of them will be ensured, both in terms of knowledge and "limiting the subjects".
And as a result of these studies, we will try to ensure that each of them becomes an expert on the "subject" of their choice and becomes effective and knowledgeable lawyers in the field of development of political party law in Turkey. |
