I. OVERVIEW
The purpose of this assessment is to give students an interesting and practical engage
with the course materials. The assessment is designed with the Faculty objectives
around ‘Work Integrated Learning’ (in other words, getting you to engage in pieces of
assessment that can closely mirror some of the professional and workplace skills you
will come to practice upon graduation).
The assessment requires you to prepare Written Submissions with respect to a
fictitious scenario.
We are not prescriptive in terms of the structure you adopt for the Submissions, but
make suggestions with respect to the types of headings and content you should
incorporate.
II. ASSESSMENT

on either margin of this.
You are required to have:
1. Numbered paragraphs;
2. Headings; and
3. 1.5 line spacing.
Your assessment is due on Friday 8 May 2020 in Week 13.
It is important to ensure that you adhere to the due date. Extensions can only be
applied for in accordance with the University Policy and late submission in any
circumstance may mean that you are unable to receive feedback prior to your final
examination period.
You will be assessed on:

objectives.
3. Quality of argument, engagement with the facts and application of the law to
