This assessment task is an online quiz to take place early in the semester. The quiz will be open between 7pm on the 16th December 2019 and 11:59pm on the 23rd December 2019 and accessible through ILearn.

The quiz will consist of 20 questions to be completed in 40 minutes. It will involve a mixture of True/False questions and multiple choice questions. This assessment task’s purpose is to engage students with their unit early in the session, encourage timely preparation for the on campus session, and to provide an opportunity for relatively early feedback. The questions will be drawn from the topics covered in lectures and readings in Weeks 1-6. 

Students who are unable to sit for the test within the designated timeframe must contact the unit convenor and make a special consideration application and, if it is approved, will be given an equivalent task set by the unit convenor. Failure to complete the quiz will result in zero marks for this assessment.

This task requires students to complete a case analysis on a case drawn from the course. The  two cases you may choose between will be specified on the Assignment instructions released on 10th December at 7am. The maximum word length is 1800 words (excluding footnotes). The assignment is due on 10th January at 11:59pm.

The purpose of this task is to develop a deeper understanding of an area of law most of interest to the student. A bibliography is required. The case analysis does not require any particular format be adopted, however, students are expected to cover the facts (briefly), litigation history, reasoning of the decision, and policy considerations raised and/or significance of the case. Additional research and commentary will be required in order to develop the analysis component of this task. This task is a research task. 

Students should note that word limits will be strictly applied. Work above the word limit will not be marked. Footnotes that include substantive arguments/material as opposed to citations will receive a zero mark for referencing.

In completing their assignment, students must comply with the Australian Guide to Legal Citation (4th ed). The Guide is available at  http://mulr.law.unimelb.edu.au/go/AGLC4

Any assessment that is received after the due date and time without an approved Special Consideration application will attract a 2% per day late penalty (2 marks per 100 for the individual assessment item). No assessments will be accepted beyond 7 days after the due date and time. 

Special Consideration applications must be lodged and approved in accordance with the university's special consideration policy which is available at: https://staff.mq.edu.au/work/strategy-planning-and-governance/university-policies-and procedures/policies/special-consideration

This is a take-home examination.  It will consist of two parts: the first part consists of fact pattern problem/s, asking you to apply remedies law to a new set of facts; and the second part consists of one general essay question asking you to develop an argument appealing to an area of remedies doctrine, principles, and/or theory.  The problem question part is worth 60% of the mark for this exam. The essay question is worth 40% of the mark for this exam. The exam can cover any material in the unit.

Students will be able to access the examination paper on iLearn from 10am, Sunday 19 January and must submit their answers by 6 pm, Sunday 19th January 2020. All work is to be submitted via Turnitin on iLearn.

A bibliography is not required.  While referencing is required, footnoting is not.  Rather, a student may reference for the examination in this manner:

e.g. ‘Damages are received as an unconditional award (​Todorovic v Waller).'

The word limit for the examination (including both questions) is 2,500 words.  This is a limit, rather than a target. If a complete answer is given in less than 2,500 words, that is acceptable.

Late submissions will not be marked and will receive a mark of 0. Where a Special Consideration application is lodged and approved in accordance with the university's special consideration policy which is available at: https://staff.mq.edu.au/work/strategy-planning-and-governance/university-policies-and-procedures/policies/special-consideration, the student will be offered a supplementary exam to be sat on January 25th, 2019 between 10am and 6pm.

As with all Law units, Laws555 has an exception to the assessment policy allowing a take-home examination during the formal exam period.

Further details and assessment guidance will be provided via iLearn.
