Abstract

Every discipline has some subjects which are not readily accessible to students, or which seem at first glance to have limited relevance to their lives. Unfortunately, these subjects are often essential to a true understanding of the discipline, so must be tackled. How can we make dry, technical subjects interesting? Can anyone teach dry subjects without tears?

The authors have been teaching Land Law, a notoriously difficult and technical subject, to second year law students for a number of years. Over that time, we have adopted a number of techniques that have made the subject more approachable and that have improved student success on the course. We believe that these techniques may be transferrable to other subjects.
