Students will gain a broad theoretical understanding of the basis of the law of contract.

1. Demonstrate an understanding [explain and apply] of a coherent body of knowledge [relevant to contract law], and underlying principles and concepts, and the broader contexts within which legal issues arise [in this area] (PO1/TLO1).
2. Identify and articulate legal issues [relevant to contract law]; [comprehend legal and other materials]; apply legal reasoning to generate appropriate responses to legal issues; and engage in critical analysis and make a reasoned choice amongst alternatives (PO2/TLO2).
3. Communicate in ways that are effective, appropriate and persuasive for legal and non-legal audiences (PO5/TLO5).
