Following the introduction, the class transitioned into a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) format, allowing students to engage actively with the material and with each other. The FGD format encouraged students to express their thoughts, challenge each other's ideas, and collaboratively explore the nuances of the legal concepts presented. This interactive approach not only enhanced their understanding but also developed their communication and critical thinking skills.
