On the third week of the second-term of their first year,I asked all of my 30 students in my Legal Students course to read a short article.Students had taken courses with instructors who did not teach them to read academic texts during their first term.The article dealt with a legal problem on rights over the Moon.It was a biased text where the author implied that the moon Agreement acted as a barrier to exploitation activities on the Moon.The author deliberately introduced comparisons with anothor international treaty(the Convention of the Law of the sea) to persuade readers that the international regime to deal with the exploitation of the Moon would be the same as the one that governs High Seas.
The language,complexity,and level of the selected text were the same as those of the textbook and other articles students read in first year Legal students courses.The reading took place in the University library and I explained to my student that they could consult any book,journal,and database available in the library to complement the reading of the assigned text.
Most of the students took a surface approach to reading.They did not question the author's arguments,They took the author's ideas at face value,and none realized that the comparison between the Convention of the Law of the sea was a strategy adopted by the author to lead readers to believe that the regimes were the same while in fact they were not.These students stopped at the facts mentioned in the text and failed to connect the problem in question to broader logal issues.Except for one student ,none made relations to other topics analyzed in class before.only two students consulted other texts to understand the assigned articles and only one student read other articles by the same author to get an idea of his ideology.
