The Case Studies x 2

You have limited words (1200 words each case study, 2400 maximum together) to do this assignment. The word limit of 2400 words will be strictly enforced, with 1 mark deducted for every 100 words above the limit. Marking criteria is included in this outline. You must be succinct. The footnotes, bibliography and short headings are not included in the word count. DO NOT use footnotes to add extra information - footnotes in this unit are for referencing only.

The marker will examine whether you have:

1. identified and clearly stated the salient factors of the case
2. applied relevant legal principles to the resolution of these issues;
3. integrated and evaluated relevant knowledge from both the material covered in this unit and your own independent research;
4. developed and sustained a concise and convincing legal argument through to a logical conclusion;
5. correctly referenced and acknowledged sources;
6. fluent, clear, concise writing, not containing poor expression, grammar or spelling; and

Students should note the following:

Many people are not familiar with the requirements of assignments. Basically, they are like any other piece of good writing. They must have a beginning, a middle and an end. They must be organised so that each point leads to another in a logical sequence. Headings and subheadings are usually of assistance to the reader, who should be easily able to ascertain the logic of your arguments.

Statements of fact must be supported by referencing in the proper form. Also, arguments and ideas you are adopting or disagree with must be properly referenced. This is one of the most important aspects of your assignment, and severe penalties will be imposed if you do not reference. Be aware of the University's rules on plagiarism. You should avoid overreliance on only a small number of sources. You are expected to have read widely on the topics.

You are not marked for your political or social views or opinions, but rather for your ability to present coherent, rational and logical arguments, properly supported by authority.

You are also marked for your ability to express yourself clearly, logically and succinctly. Poor expression, grammar and spelling will detract from your overall mark.

Many students do not also realise that the more drafts that are written, the better standard the final product will normally be. You should aim to find the time to complete at least two, if not three, drafts prior to handing the submission in. This will be especially important in ensuring that the word limit is not exceeded.
