Legal Assessments (1 Viewer)

Just out of curiosity, what types of Assessments do your teachers set ur for Legal? Like Besides exams and half yearly.
I've got assessments based on a half yearly, and oral(which only contributed to 10%) and the rest are like LENGTHY research task, asking the hardest Questions that the HSC paper can possibly ask and heaps more (E.g. One research task will required to do ALL OF THE FOLLOWING: an issue of own choice, domestic/int laws, detail of each law and section etc, ethnic, morality committment behind it and organisations... and effectiveness and palce of law etc etc etc)....which in the end, each research task required minimum of 5000 words? (Even One student in my class end up producing 10000!!!!!!!!) Consequently, it appears to my fellow students that i am 24/7 doing Legal...ANyone in the same position as me?!?!?!?!

The reason you have to do all that morality ethics and effectiveness is cos its the basis of the course cos its not law as such its the effect of the legal system in society. Our assessments consist of oral presentations, exams, research tasks etc. Essays and the like tend to have a 1500-2000 word limit to prepare us to be concise in the HSC exam. I find legal quite straightforward so I don't really spend that much time on it although its the most enjoyable thing to study for

i get what you mean....and no, i am very clear on the fact that all the research requirements are syllabus based, but....with the research.....you can end up producing a book of 500 pages and never finishes >.<
yeah, i enjoy legal too, straight forward as you say
Any idea what they going to ask for this year's essay part?
i mean...i hope they dont give us any surprises...after all, based on last two year's question, hope this year's one also revolved around "effectiveness, place of the law" What do you think?
