If you turn up to any law exam decked out in a barristers robes and wig, you get an instant HD. However, if you are questioned by any staff, you must shout out 'OBJECTION!' and ignore them.

Don't tell anyone else, it's all very hush-hush.

haha, but of course.

the right to wear legal regalia is impliedly entrenched in the Constitution.

 

[spell check]

you've got 15 hours to do as many crimes as possible to find out how the system works

Commit them whilst wearing the robes for extra credit.

how to pass... well let me think... how about STUDYING

 

[Frigid]

how to pass... well let me think... how about STUDYING

thanks for that, mr obvious layperson.

perhaps then, you would like to highlight specific areas to which i should concentrate my study, and therefore, maximise the efficiency of my remaining time.

The areas you spent the most time on during lectures and tutorials and the areas that the lecturer has hinted may be important.

The areas you spent the most time on during lectures and tutorials and the areas that the lecturer has hinted may be important.

all good and wholesome general advice (to hand out to anybody), but for the fact that:

1) the course coordinator suffered a heart-attack during the semester, so my class (no lectures in law) was combined together with his class, creating one mini-lecture thing.

2) sandra doesn't teach. she drones on outlining the book without anything in particular.

3) you have no idea because you haven't studied this course, or law for that matter.

so please, refrain from commenting in my thread unless you have something specific to the subject matter.

only bloody problem is that but for the case extract in chapter 4, i haven't touched chapter 9.

i hope the compulsory question is general and nothing specific

CRIMINAL LAW 1 (LAWS 1001)
Information for End of Session Exam, Session 1, 2005

1. The end of session exam will be held during the formal end-of-session exam period and will be administered by the University. All students should check published notices as to timing and location of the exam, as well as rules governing conduct at the exam. Complying with University requirements is your responsibility.

2. The time allowed for the exam is 2.5 hours. There is an additional 10 minute reading time period in which you are not permitted to write anything.

3. In the paper, there will be 6 questions, divided unequally into Part A and Part B. Part A contains 5 essay questions in which you are asked to discuss a statement or quotation. You must choose ONE question only from Part A. Part B contains one compulsory problem/policy question in which you are asked to give advice on possible change in specific areas of criminal law or process. This examination does not include a conventional problem question, i.e. when a set of facts is presented and you are asked to apply the law to them.

4. The exam is worth 60% of the total marks for Criminal Law 1. Both questions are of equal value (i.e. each is worth 30% of the total marks for the course).

5. As in any examination, it is vital that you discuss the specific issues raised in each question, rather than just writing everything or anything about the general area.

6. As this is an open book exam, a significant degree of the material in your answer will come from the prescribed textbook or readings. In most cases you will not be expected to use any other sources in writing your answer. It is therefore not required that you acknowledge that the textbook or readings have been the primary source for the answer. However, if you quote from that material, or paraphrase it in any significant way, such use of the material must be clearly acknowledged and in the case of a quotation, acknowledged by the use of quotation marks. Similar considerations apply to any use of study notes prepared by other students. If you are found to have copied the notes of any other student without acknowledgement this will constitute plagiarism.

7. Copies of previous exam papers are available on the library catalogue. Note that the content of the 2005 exam will not necessarily be the same as those of previous years. However because a particular subject area has been covered recently does not mean that it will not be covered again. There are only a limited number of topic areas.

8. The exam will be open book. You are permitted to bring any printed or handwritten materials into the examination room. Underlining and annotation is permitted in notes and texts. The text is essential.

9. The examination potentially covers all the material studied in the course. Students are expected to have read all of Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 8 and 9 for the exam.

10. Only material covered in the Reading Guide and on the WebCT site: LAWS1001-General Information/Class Handouts/Supplementary Readings will be directly examinable, in the sense of being the potential focus or subject matter of any of the questions.

11. Mobile phones MAY NOT be brought into the examination room. Computers are NOT permitted.

12. Please make sure to answer each question in a separate booklet and print your teacher’s name and class day and time on the front of every answer booklet.

no duress on my part

Dear Wen,
I have two students named Wen Wu in my classes. Only the middle name
differs
This was the source of my mistake. Your mark is 85% (HD) and your paper
can be collected from the office on the 10th floor later today.
Sorry
Sandra

PS I double checked the other student to make sure that he didn't
receive your HD in error.
