Development

The project develops an electronic journal in the field of tax law with researchers, students and practitioners as editors. Students write innovative research articles for the journal under the guidance of researchers and practitioners. The project is co-financed by the Danish Foundation for Entrepreneurship. The project was developed in collaboration with the research group FIRE – Research Group for Fiscal Relations. The Research Group on Law Teaching and Learning contributes to the project with advice and evaluation regarding the didactical aspects of the project.

The project “Teaching Portfolio” (In Danish) develops guidelines and manuals for teachers at the University Copenhagen. Teaching portfolios are used by teachers for continuous and systematic reflection on their own teaching. In addition to participating in the project in general, the research group developed a workshop on teaching portfolio writing for PhD students, postdocs and assistant professors, and developed a course portfolio for an obligatory course in the Faculty of Law’s LLB program.

The University of Copenhagen continues its efforts on strengthening formative feedback to students. In 2017, the effort consists of several pilot projects at all faculties that develop various forms of formative feedback, for example, criterion-based feedback and feedback sheets. Another part of the projects is the production and dissemination of short videos about feedback that can inspire teachers and students to work with different forms of formative feedback. A detailed project description can be found on the University of Copenhagen's intranet in Danish.
