Foundations of Law: Case Assignment (1 Viewer)

[Lainee]

Well... a credit average is usual I think? As to whether they -planned- it to turn out that way... maybe?

i heard the case you looked at was 60 pages long (!?) ours was worth 30% and the case was half that length... My mate at uws said the only thing that stopped her from going insane while doing the case note was her interest in the case (forgot what it was about).

yer it was a little over 60 pages and it was on immigration detention/constitution/judicial and executive/children in detention etc, it was a recent case as well so there was not much info on it so you actually had to sit and read the whole thing like 3 times to find all the answers properly and make sure you didnt miss anything

I obviously don't go to Sydney, but I assume that they bell curve your marks - most law schools do. Your bands/percentages are a little different at Usyd compared to ANU, but in law 70% here would be a D (and would be a fucked up average).

Here they curve it to

(80%+) HD - 2 - 5% of people
(70-79%) D - 10 - 20% of people
(60-69%) C - 30 - 50% of people

From what I've been told, Sydney gives out a few more % HD's than us, and more credits (up to 65% i think), with less D's. So, a C average sounds about right.

Also RE: Citations, get the Australian Guide to Legal Citation, it's over 150 pages of citing goodness and is also free online! (and anything not in there is also wrong )

My seminar teacher said we're getting our participation marks (structured and unstructured) tomorrow online but I'm not sure where. Does anyone know?

obviously this isn't exactly best place to post this question but I didn't feel as though it deserved a whole new thread

Hey, I have a feeling it's just gonna be a long list with student id's and marks. The webct section for Law isn't customised for each person or anything, so I -think- that's how they're going to do it.

Hope i got a pass mark. Haven't said anything in class all semester. Though, my attendance is flawless, so i hope it pulls me through.
