 I'm a second year undergraduate law student here at Cambridge, and I'm going to talk to you today about the main teaching methods on the course. There are supervisions and lectures. Llywodraeth yn y lleodraeth yn oed, ar y sgwerthau sgwerthau yw'r falch, ac ystryd allan ni'r cadw. Mae'r cadw oedd yn yn ôl yn du'r cheyrnau, mae'r llant yn gondol a'r llant, a'r llant yn yn ei gyfrifiad yn ei bod.

So, in supervisions we do what we do in the law degree. We look at what the law is, you generally get an idea of this from your textbook reading. But you then analyse the law and interpret the law. The law can have different meanings. It's not always clear what a statutory provision means. Sometimes words can have various different meanings and really deciding what meaning should be attributed to the statute is what we look at. Sometimes the law doesn't give a clear outcome in a particular situation and we discuss that as well. We also ask ourselves, is the law satisfactory? Should it be the way it is? Certainly the law may not always seem satisfactory. For example, is the law on squatter satisfactory? Should people be able to get other people's land for free? Is it right that you can be convicted of murder without having an intention to kill? So we discuss all these contentious aspects in supervisions. You can voice your own opinion and put it to scrutiny to these supervisors who have made this subject their life's work and that's particularly amazing I find about the system at Cambridge. You get to think about the law and you are encouraged to think in different ways. Supervisors will generally give you different perspectives on the work. Supervisors will have thought about the work, written books, written articles, so a very experienced in their field and it just feels amazing to be in their company sometimes. Also in supervisions I feel that my communication skills have dramatically improved. You get to express yourself, express your ideas very clearly and concisely and that's what I find has particularly improved. So there are four supervisions in a term and you are required to do two essays for each course in the term. Essays are submitted to your supervisor and you get very detailed feedback on the essays. So very clear marking and I think that this is such a good way to improve for your exams and for future essays and for your future career as well. Another particular beneficial aspect about supervisions is you are discussing the law not just with the supervisor but with other students who are highly motivated and very smart as well and they also give very interesting aspects and perspectives to the course which you would not necessarily have thought before, so that's particularly beneficial as well. Also there may be times where you don't understand what you've read in a textbook before the supervision or even before the supervision. I find you can do with supervisors particularly at Cambridge who are very friendly so you can just email them. Email the person who wrote your textbook a query and they will get back to you surprisingly quickly as well which I find very, very amazing. As well as supervisions there are also lectures. They are delivered to the whole year so around 200 people in core subjects and slightly less in your option subjects in the second and third year. They are again delivered by experts. It's a really good way to take in a lot of information in a short space of time. Lectures give you an overview of the law and they are delivered with power points and handouts. You generally take notes either by your laptop or on paper and after lectures there is still a social aspect to the law faculty which revolves around the law faculty's cafe where they serve sumptuous brownies. After that you can go to the Squire Law Library where they have endless amounts of books so you can do work there or you can go back to college and do work there. So in your working week it's mostly spent towards supervision reading, lecture handouts and your lecture notes will supplement it but supervision reading is the most important thing but even with all of that there is always enough time for a social aspect to your Cambridge life.
