Take Home Exam Instructions
This final assessment represents 50% of the total marks for this unit.
This final assessment is available for students to access on Canvas from Friday 5 November 2021 at 9.00am AEDT- THE EXAM PAPER:
This final assessment duration is 24 hours and it is due on Saturday 6 November 2021 at 9.00am AEDT. Students must submit their answers to this assessment task on Canvas (which will be reviewed via Turnitin).
This is an individualised assessment and students must answer ALL the Questions in the assessment for a total of 50 marks. All answers must be typewritten.
The maximum word count for this assessment is 3,000 words (inclusive of headings and references (such as case law and legislation)). Students who exceed the maximum word limit by more than 10% will be penalised with 1 mark for every 10 words.
Referencing
Students are expected to reference cases and legislation only, and will NOT be required to comply with in-text referencing (such as Harvard System or AGLC). For referencing, it is sufficient to reference in the same style and manner as you would in a written exam. For example, it is sufficient to cite the case in brackets without full citationdetails (eg, Salomon v Salomon) or cite the legislation, for example, the Corporations Act 2001.
Blackout Period prior to Exams
It is a general policy of the Swinburne Law School to have a blackout period prior to an exam scheduled and during the formal exam period. This blackout period starts on midday of the previous business day of your exam. This means that you should not expect a response to any exam related question from this point onwards. For exams scheduled on a Monday, you should only expect a response to questions asked before midday on the previous Friday.
The blackout period covers email contact, queries in person, via office phone and Canvas. Discussion boards on Canvas will also be locked for this period, in order to protect you from the creation of last-minute panics and confusion on Canvas.
All Swinburne Law School staff members are required to adhere to the blackout policy unless there are exceptional circumstances to deviate from it; for example, if you want to seek advice about special consideration or you cannot sit your exam/assessment.
The blackout period also includes the 24 hours during which your Final Assessment is scheduled.
Extensions
Students applying for extensions will be required to use the normal process for Special Consideration.
Technology and Health Issues
Remember, do not leave your submission until the final few minutes. If, in the unlikely event there is an issue with the electronic submission via Canvas, students should submit their work to the convenor by email to capture the submission time. Students will still be required to submit their work through Canvas (Turnitin) at a later time.
Students who are unable to complete the timed assessment due to technical difficulties are advised to take photos or screenshots of their computer issue and then either: (a) Request an extension or alternative arrangement by contacting the Unit Convenor (b) Apply for Special Consideration through the standard processes. Evidence will be requested. The Assessment and Progression Team will contact the Unit Convenor to arrange the assessment to be rescheduled.
If you become unwell during the completion of your final assessment task, the normal Special Consideration processes are available for you, you would need to have a Registered Practitioner Statement as part of your application.
