The on-campus mode of delivery for this unit is through weekly on-campus seminars; the off-campus mode of delivery requires regular on-line access via Blackboard to a weekly schedule of activities, which includes podcasts of the lecture slides. The teaching and learning approach in this unit is enhanced through in-class and on-line discussions, particularly of legal principles and applying these to hypothetical facts/cases, where the skills of working effectively with others, communicating effectively and critical appraisal (problem-solving and decision-making) are emphasised. Students are required to complete individual assessment items which are assessed for quality academic and professional standards, including written and oral 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.
