A complaint about the quality of teaching has led to a
lecturer in law suing a student for defamation. A district court will
decide whether the lecturer should receive compensation.
The teacher, for example, does not use group work and has not had assigned students to groups despite students’ requests. He also writes that the teacher seems unprepared. He has no notes with him and never really writes anything on the board.
In conclusion, he writes in the complaint, he has attempted to
communicate these issues to the teacher, “but he does not seem to be
willing to adapt”
