Same here with advanced torts. But ours were handed in before the mid-semester!! Its getting a bit annoying... So, have you all started on your IL yet? I'm doing research at the moment. Know what I want to talk about, but not sure how to set it out. Its on humanitarian intervention, like most...

Just a random addition - but I'm so relieved! It seems the entire law faculty have gone insane with marking. Firstly there was IL where all the great BOSers failed :( And then I get my Int. Orgs essay back today. Firstly, Natalie is insane because she marked the entire units worth of essays in...

Actually, I remember someone saying the same thing to me, Maka, about how international law is totally different from every other law unit because its so abstract and there is no substantive law to it. Re: making it a core unit, I think that would be a good idea but ONLY if it had decent...

From what you've said above, I think its pretty harsh that you didn't pass melsc. And, as I said, you do so well in other LAW units that this really shouldn't have been that different. I had 8 sources (including two books, one of which was my ADR book by David Spencer!), plus cases and treaties...

Congrats on getting the bump up Tabris :) You obviously deserved the mark in the first place if it was written on your paper!! melsc, I can see why you'd be disappointed re: not realistic enough.. then again I think thats what the essay was about, pragmatic solutions (I could be wrong, and am...

That is awesome my friend IWR. I joined straight away. :D ... and have stalked you (pretty easy seeing you have been the latest contributor to said groups wall)... ... Unless its some random dude who has suspiciously the same hair as you... ... in which case I will be well embarrassed and...

Wow melsc I dont know how you got that mark. You and Tabris always do incredibly well! Its disgusting, really... I'm intrigued as to how they marked, too. I know one person who got 30 (or maybe 32) and they had two incomplete sentences in their essay, and they were obviously incomplete; the...

Well, to me, that just confirms that the entire unit is a bit... questionable. If Tabris only just passes, then thats a sure sign to me (seeing you always do well in essays). I spoke to a friend who did Int Law last year, and she agreed that Rafiq was quite a hard marker and very much wanted...

IWR, he only failed you by 2 marks! Bastard!! How annoying! But thats totally fine, because then all you need is something over 27/50 for the final, and you've passed! Maybe you should change tutes? Come to mine, its 11am Tuesday. I mean, Shawkat does sometimes go around the class and asks...

Thats true re: 50% + 1 mark. Hopefully they are more lenient with the 3000 word essay because its free choice, and you can't really go wrong with answering your own question. I honestly dont think that the students are doing anything wrong. Not to completely externalise it, but the unit itself...

I got a Credit (28/40) , and so did the rest of the people I sit with. In fact, we all got the same mark which was weird. I celebrated with a hot chocolate and caramel slice because that was the worst thing I have ever written (after my latest Int Orgs assessment which I am really worried I may...

Yep, we had the teaching evaluation this tutorial... Me and the people around me ripped into the unit. One person wrote absolutely nothing in the 'what is good about this unit' section, and started writing up the sides of the page when answering the 'what is bad' and 'what can be improved'...

IWR are you serious?! My goodness, I didn't know they actually failed people... Oh hun... There is still hope, though. The final essay is worth 50%, so depending on how you go, you can still pass the course, right? Have you chosen your topic yet? Let us help you!!

The Dean is whacked. I cant believe thats what they've done to Property. It was bad enough when it was back the way it used to be 2 years ago. That is just insane. It doesn't encourage learning at all; it encourages rote learning, so you can just forget it as soon as you've handed in the work...

I hope we get it back soon, too. Especially after he flames us the way he has. We need a decent amount of time to fix up our style so we can gain marks back in the final. Not that it will really make much of a difference with the first one being worth 40% and the second 50%. If we've stuffed up...

Oh wow, I wish I had R as a tutor. It sure would be interesting! But I'm grateful I have Skawkat :) He asked us today what our suggestions were in the essay question... and the class was silent. So I ventured it was too long ago, and so no one can remember. He had a little rant, but nothing like...

Did you hear his comments at the beginning of the lecture? About how our papers this year are inferior?! It seems that I'm in the inferior cohort every year... Apparently a lot of people mentioned the theoretical stuff about whether int. law is really law, and stuff about the courts. I'm...

Well, I have to say maka that you have great taste in electives! I too wanted to do insolvency but, like you, decided against it because it only equated to 3cp (which I think is stupid; I think they should look at the fact that its a final year elective at UTS and therefore we should get our 4cp...

I've settled on humanitarian intervention. Not overly interested in the topic, but there is stacks of issues and papers out there written about it. Thinking of focusing on it in relation to human rights. Still upset that my original topic was shot down :( Is anyone else here doing International...

While that info is on the cover sheet, I've always put my name, dept and date on the title page, too. its just a bit of a formality I guess. I do it: Title Name Student number Dept Uni [obviously Macquarie Uni] Date [Month, XXXX] And make it so it all fits nicely on the page, space-wise. And...
