The mode of delivery for this unit is through weekly on-campus seminars. The teaching and learning approach in this unit is enhanced through in-class discussions, particularly of legal case studies, where the skills of working effectively with others (specifically team working, task collaboration and working productively with people from diverse cultures), communicating effectively and critical appraisal (problem-solving and decision-making) are emphasised. This unit also provides for engaged teaching and learning where the lecturer, through current professional industry experiences, and guest lecturers from legal organisations pertinent to the sport, recreation and event industry provide information and networking opportunities for students. Students are required to complete individual assessment items which are assessed for quality academic and professional standards, including written communication (structure, language and conventions), critical analysis (depth of thought, development of argument, logical analysis and insight), and depth and breadth of coverage and ability to research effectively using both academic and contemporary sources.
