MyUni will be used to post announcements, provide course materials (includinglecture  slides) and announce assignment tasks.

Students are expected to check MyUni regularly to keep up to date with these materials and additional learning resources throughout the course.

This course is taught in intensive mode on four days.

Each day there will be a morning and afternoon class session of 3 hours (with a short break in the middle of each session)


The classes will also provide a forum for interaction and discussion between the lecturer and students around specified questions. Before attending classes, students should work through, and prepare answers to, the questions issued before each class. The questions will assist students to structure their learning, and so they are expected to prepare for class in a systematic and serious way: reading relevant materials and, most importantly, thinking about the questions and issues to be addressed in class. The class discussion will provide an opportunity for students to test their understanding of the work that they have completed prior to class, to apply their knowledge to new situations and to extend their knowledge further.

Active participation in classes is an important component of learning in this course. The communication skills developed by actively participating in discussions are considered to be most important by Adelaide Law School and are highly regarded by employers and professional bodies.

Contact class time: this course will be taught intensively on four days. On each of these days there will be a 3 hour class session in the morning and again in the afternoon (a short break in the middle of each session will be scheduled and a longer lunch break will separate the morning and afternoon sessions will be scheduled). This will constitute 24 hours of formal class time.

Preparation time: In addition to attending formal classes it is anticipated that students will do substantial independent work to prepare for class, and to complete course assignments. The University expects full-time students (those undertaking 12 units per semester) to devote a total of 48 hours per week to their studies.

A schedule of topics to be covered in each class will be provided through the course website.

Assessment Task	Task Type	Due	Weighting	Length	Redeemable	Learning Outcome
Literature review	Individual	I week after final class	20%	1000 words	No	1,2,3,4
Class participation	Individual	In class	10%		No	1,2,3,4
Research Essay	Individual	5 weeks after final class	70%	4000 words	No	1,2,3,4,5,6

1. Literature Review

Students must select a topic from a list of set topics and write a review of selected literature on that topic. This can then form the basis for the research essay or students may select a different topic for the research essay. The literature review will be up to 1000 words in length and will be due by 2:00pm on the Friday of the week following the final class.

2. Class participation

Students are expected to be prepared prior to coming to class. Preparation involves doing the required readings for each module and being ready to discuss these during class. Grades for class participation will be awarded to students for actively engaging with the class materials in a constructive and coherent way. 

3. Research essay

The research essay will allow students to select a topic from a list of set essay topics. The research essay topics will build off the topics taught in the course but provide an opportunity for further research. This assessment requires students to develop their own independent research skills using both primary and secondary sources and to develop critical thinking skills. The research essay will up to 4000 words in length and will be due by 2:00pm on the Friday of the fifth week following the final class.

All assessments will be submitted and monitored through text or code comparative software (e.g. Turnitin) where possible.

Students will be provided with submission instructions as part of the assessment instructions for each item of assessment which will be made available on MyUni.

ASSIGNMENT EXTENSION APPLICATION
Requests for extensions must be made electronically according to law school policy. Extensions will be granted only for unexpected illness, hardship or on compassionate grounds in accordance with University Policy. Work commitments, travel, holidays or sporting engagements are not unexpected circumstances.

Late Submission Penalties: When an assessment is submitted after the due date, without an extension, 5% of the total mark possible will be deducted for every 24 hours or part thereof that the assignment is late, including each day on a weekend. For example, an essay that is submitted after the due date and time but within the first 24 hour period, and that has been graded at 63%, will have 5% deducted, for a final grade of 58%. An essay that is more than 24 hours late will lose 10%, etc.

Word Length Penalties: 5% of the total mark possible for a written assessment will be deducted for every 100 words (or part thereof) by which it exceeds a stipulated word limit. For example, a 4,000 word essay graded at 63% will have 5% deducted if it is between 4,001 and 4,100 words long for a final mark of 58%. If the essay is between 4,101 and 4,200 words long, 10% will be deducted for a final mark of 53%, etc. Word limits include all words in the text, in headings, in quotations, but exclude citations in footnotes. Any separate cover page, table of contents, bibliography or list of sources is excluded from the word limit. If the word limit is misstated, this may be regarded as academic dishonesty.

Finality of Assessment Grades

Students are advised that Course Coordinators will not enter into negotiations of any kind with any student regarding changes to their grades. It is irrelevant, in any given circumstance, that only a minimal number of additional marks are required to inflate a student’s grade for any individual assessment item or course as a whole. Pursuant to the University’s Assessment for Coursework Programs Policyand the Adelaide Law School Assessment Policies and Procedures, grades may only be varied through the appropriate channels for academic review (such as an official re-mark).

Moderation

In accordance with the University’s Assessment for Coursework Programs Policy, course coordinators ‘ensure that appropriate marking guidelines and cross-marking moderation processes across markers are in place’ in each course. Procedures adopted by Adelaide Law School to ensure consistency of marking in courses with multiple markers include:

• assurance of the qualifications of markers, and their knowledge of the content covered in each course;
• detailed marking guidelines and assessment rubrics to assist in the marking of items of assessment;
• sharing of example marked assessments at various grade bands across markers;
• reviewing of selected marked assessments from each marker by the course coordinator;
• comparison of the marks and their distribution across markers;
• automatic double-marking of all interim assessment receiving a fail grade, and of final assessments where a student’s overall result is a fail grade;
• the availability of re-marking of assessments in accordance with Adelaide Law School’s Assessment Policies and Procedures.

Approval of Results by Board of Examiners

Students are reminded that all assessment results are subject to approval (and possible moderation/change) by the Law School’s Board of Examiners. Assessment results at the University are not scaled. Under the Assessment for Coursework Programs Policy, students are assessed ‘by reference to their performance against pre-determined criteria and standards … and not by ranking against the performance of the student cohort in the course’. However, under that same policy, the Board of Examiners (as the relevant Assessment Review Committee for courses at Adelaide Law School) is required to ‘ensure comparability of standards and consistency’ in assessment. On occasions, the Board of Examiners will form the view that some moderation is required to ensure the comparability of standards and consistency across courses and years, and accordingly provide fairness to all law students. All assessment results are therefore subject to approval (and possible change) until confirmed by the Board of Examiners and posted on Access Adelaide at the end of each semester.

The provides academic learning and language development services and resources for local, international, undergraduate and postgraduate coursework students enrolled at the 成人大片.

The centre offers practical advice and strategies for students to master reading, writing, note-taking, time management, oral presentation skills, referencing techniques and exam preparation for success at university through seminars, workshops and individual consultations.

Lex Salus Program

Lex Salus (law and wellbeing) is an initiative of the Adelaide Law School aimed at destigmatising mental health issues; promoting physical, mental and emotional wellness; building a strong community of staff and students; and celebrating diversity within the school. It also seeks to promote wellness within the legal profession, through the involvement of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of South Australia, the Honourable Chris Kourakis, as the official Patron of the program.

Students can participate in the Lex Salus program by attending barbecue lunches, pancake breakfasts, knitting and crochet circles, seminars, guest speakers, conferences and other activities. Our , and regular all-student emails promote upcoming events, and have tips and information on wellness.

Our Lex Salus YouTube channel also includes videos on topics like managing stress, and interviews with LGBTQ lawyers and their supporters which celebrate diversity and individuality. Students who commit to 10 hours of volunteering with Lex Salus in one year can have their service recognised on their academic transcript and through a thank you morning tea with the Chief Justice and law school staff.

Student Life Counselling Support

The University’s service provides free and confidential service to all enrolled students. We encourage you to contact the Student Life Counselling Support service on 8313 5663 to make an appointment to deal with any issues that may be affecting your study and life.

Academic Integrity

 All students must be familiar with the University’s Academic Integrity Policy. Academic misconduct is a serious matter and is treated as such by the Law School, the University and authorities responsible for regulating the legal profession.

Academic integrity is an essential aspect of ethical and honest behaviour, which is central to the practice of the law and an understanding of what it is to be a lawyer.
