Professor Mimi Zou recently won the Faculty’s inaugural Innovation in Teaching Award for her experimentation with ‘flipped classroom’ learning
The idea behind the ‘flipped classroom’ is that students watch pre-recorded lectures (‘micro-modules’) outside of class, while face-to-face classroom time is devoted to more interactive learning such as problem solving exercises. Professor Zou’s micro-modules for her elder law course can be viewed here.
Professor Zou, who graduated from Church Christ and St John’s Colleges at the University of Oxford, where she studied for her Bachelor of Civil Law and Doctor of Philosophy in Law, is also a finalist in the Education UK Alumni Awards 2016. The Awards recognises the achievements of distinguished alumni in ten participating countries, who have studied at a UK university.
Research Excellence Award
The University established the Research Excellence Award to provide a long-term, overall positive effect on promoting research excellence at the University and further improving the success rate of all major research grant applications. Professor Bryan Druzin and Professor Eric Ip were awarded the Research Excellence Award 2014-15 in recognition of their remarkable accomplishments in research.
Outstanding Results at Mooting Competitions
“Mooting has become firmly established as part of the law faculty’s curriculum. Students in all our programmes are keen to participate in mooting. They value the skills that mooting develops and are eager to participate in international competitions. Our success in developing mooting and in competitions has largely been due to the students’ enthusiasm for mooting.“
