NEMSU College of Law Collaborates with USC School of Law and Governance
The North Eastern Mindanao State University (NEMSU) College of Law, in partnership with the University of San Carlos (USC) School of Law and Governance, successfully held a syllabi workshop on September 20, 2025, at Shacene Pension House, Tandag City. This initiative supports the Legal Education Boardโs ongoing efforts to implement the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) approach in legal instruction.
The workshop was conducted by the resource speaker via zoom.
The workshop was attended by the NEMSU College of Law faculty, led by Dean Daniel L. Diaz, and was facilitated by Dean Joan S. Largo of USCโs School of Law and Governance, a key advocate for innovation in legal education.
The primary objective of the workshop was to align legal instruction with the student-centered philosophy of OBE, which emphasizes the achievement of clearly defined learning outcomes over traditional content delivery methods. This shift encourages deeper engagement, critical thinking, and practical application of legal principles.
Despite the challenges involved in revising and updating course syllabi, participants recognized the significance and necessity of embracing this educational transformation. The workshop marked a vital step forward in ensuring that legal education at NEMSU remains relevant, responsive, and aligned with national and global standards.
