Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
Teaching will be by intensive seminars during which topics will be presented in lecture format followed by case study problem tutorial question solving that consider and apply the legal topics covered in lectures.
The seminars will be delivered “face to face” and so students are expected to attend all seminars in this course or, if an external student, view the seminar recordings. The seminars will also be live-streamed and recorded, and the recordings made available on MyUni via Echo360. Therefore, students will have the choice of attending seminars “online”.
Before a seminar, students are expected to have printed and read the PowerPoint slides for the topic being covered. After a seminar, students are expected to undertake further reading from the textbook. Students are also expected to engage in the learning process and actively participate in class discussions.Workload
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.
The University expects full-time students (i.e. those taking 12 units per semester) to devote a total of 48 hours per week to their studies. This means that you are expected to commit approximately 9 hours for a three-unit course of private study outside of classes.
Students in this course are expected to attend all seminars throughout the trimester, or, if an external student, view the seminar recordings.Learning Activities Summary

Assessment
The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:
- Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
- Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
- Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.
Assessment Summary
Assessment Task Weighting % Due Date/Week Length (Words, Time) Course Learning Outcome(s) 3 x Online Tests - 15% each 45%
45 minutes each 1 to 3 Assignment 55% 2,000 words 1 to 3 Total 100% Assessment Detail
3 x Online Tests
Each of the Online Tests consists of 15 multiple choice questions and students must answer all questions in 45 minutes. The Online Tests must be completed in no more than 45 minutes from starting to answer the questions and in a single sitting.
Assignment
This will consist of legal case study questions that must be answered in a written essay.
Students have the choice of submitting the Assignment answer either individually or in a group of up to three members. If an Assignment answer is submitted by a group, the mark given to the Assignment answer will be the mark received by each member of a group. If students choose to submit an Assignment as a group, it the students’ responsibility to arrange themselves into the group.Submission
Presentation of Assignments
1. Students must retain a copy of all assignments submitted.
2. Students must attach an ‘Assignment Cover Sheet’, which is signed and dated before submission.
3. Lecturers can refuse to accept assignments, which do not have a signed acknowledgement of the University’s policy relevant to plagiarism.
Late Assignment Submission
Students are expected to submit their work by the due date to maintain a fair and equitable system. Extensions will generally only be given for medical or other serious reasons.
All requests for extensions must be submitted using the Application For Assessment Extension Form available at:
/student/exams/assessment-applications/assessment-extension
Supporting documents are required for an assessment extension beyond 3 days.
A late assignment (without prior arrangement) will be penalised by a 5% mark reduction for each day that it is late.
Return of Assignments
Lecturers aim to mark and return assignments to students within two weeks of the due date with written feedback. Students are responsible for collecting their marked assignments from either their seminars. If assignments are not collected after two weeks, the assignments will be available at the Law School office Hub for two weeks, after which the remaining assignments will be disposed of.Course Grading

Student Feedback
The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.
SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness
Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
