Unit Grading Scheme
7- point scale
Assessment Tasks
Assessment: Barrister's opinion
Acting in the role of a barrister, you will analyse a brief to counsel regarding a legal problem, research relevant legal sources and authorities, and write a barrister's opinion that
critiques competing approaches to resolving the legal issue and constructs an argument.
Assessment: Examination
The end-of-semester examination (open book) will assess your knowledge and understanding of the topics of the unit and will consist of problems that assess your ability to analyse fact situations, extract relevant legal issues and argue the application of the law to the facts to reach a conclusion. The exam may cover all topics of the unit.
Academic Integrity
Academic integrity is a commitment to undertaking academic work and assessment in a manner that is ethical, fair, honest, respectful and accountable.
The Academic Integrity Policy sets out the range of conduct that can be a failure to maintain the standards of academic integrity. This includes, cheating in exams, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion and contract cheating. It also includes providing fraudulent or altered documentation in support of an academic concession application, for example an assignment extension or a deferred exam.
You are encouraged to make use of QUT’s learning support services, resources and tools to assure the academic integrity of your assessment. This includes the use of text matching software that may be available to assist with self-assessing your academic integrity as part of the assessment submission process.
Breaching QUT’s Academic Integrity Policy or engaging in conduct that may defeat or compromise the purpose of assessment can lead to a finding of student misconduct (Code of Conduct – Student) and result in the imposition of penalties under the Management of Student Misconduct Policy, ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.
