Examiner’s Report
[This report will be posted onto intranet immediately after the release of exam results]
The final examination results have demonstrated that the students – despite the
unusual learning environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic – have been engaged
with the various class topics, have conducted their own independent research into the
key areas of the course, and have taken an interest in the main risks that arise along
the lines of China-backed investment activity in the Belt & Road jurisdictions.
Most students have understood and learned to recognise and mitigate project risks in
challenging jurisdictions. The students have been specifically articulate when it comes
to project finance, political risk insurance, and investment protection.
Some of the exam papers showed that a small number of students found it difficult to
apply the course materials and the information delivered during the classes to the
actual real life scenarios. This is not unusual, in particular when the student-teacher
interaction is limited to online means, which makes it difficult to ask questions and to
react to what the students might not be understanding during the class.
Most students have been able to embrace the multi-jurisdictional approach of the
course (a merger of contract law, project finance technique, public international law,
investment law).
Generally, in conclusion, I commend the students’ dedication to the course, and the
hard work that resulted in generally high marks for the course.
