In this unit, you will be reading articles and materials that will broaden your understanding of the topics of law and justice. At the end of each module (modules 1-10), a quiz will test your comprehension of these materials and your understanding of unit materials and readings, and your ability to apply concepts from these materials.The weekly quizzes should be attempted after completing each module's lesson. They are located within the relevant module tile.

Quizzes comprise of 4 questions drawn randomly from a bank of questions, with each question worth 0.5% of your mark for the unit and thus each quiz is worth a total of 2% for each module. The questions test your understanding and application of unit materials, concepts and readings.

All ten quizzes must be completed by 11.59 pm (Qld time) on Friday 26 May 2023 (week 11). As students have 11 weeks to complete this task, no extensions beyond this due date are permitted.

• Comprehension of module materials and readings;
• Application of concepts from the materials and readings to topics and questions; and
• Evaluation of propositions, using the evidence base provided by reading materials.

This unit emphasises practical and applied learning, to draw connections between the readings/preparatory materials and the real world context in which they are used.

Each workshop is connected to a weekly challenge that tests your skills and understanding. To evidence what you have learned, you are required to write reports responding to each weekly challenge. Each will be approximately half a page in length and can include elements such as tables or diagrams.

In week 12, you must submit a workbook containing your weekly challenge answers for weeks 1-10.

Each weekly workshop challenge is worth 2% of your marks for this unit.

• Completion of weekly challenges;
• Reflection on tasks, learning, and professional development;
• Evidence of critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and creative problem-solving;
• Demonstrated understanding of how theories and concepts integrate into practical and applied situations; and
• Communicate effectively in writing.

In this unit, you will be learning practical skills for working in and around the legal and justice systems. The first half of the term will teach you how to find, use and evaluate legal authorities and sources of information. To test what you have learned, you will complete a legal problem solving exercise using real cases and legislation to provide advice to a client. This will be supported by a workshop challenge in week 7 that features a hypothetical problem.

This assessment will be carried out as a 'take home paper', which is the equivalent of an exam. The take home paper will be held from 4 - 8 pm on Wednesday 24 May 2023 (Qld time, Week 11). Note the following conditions apply to take home papers:

1. take home papers are for four (4) hours duration only;
2. submissions received after the deadline has passed will not be accepted and will be graded as zero;
3. extensions are not available for take home papers (although Accessibility adjustments still apply); and
4. exam conditions apply to take home papers.

In the take home paper you will be assessed on your ability to identify the legal issues in a factual scenario and locate and interpret the law. You must apply the law to the facts to provide advice to a client. You will also be assessed on your ability to explain your reasoning, the steps you took in solving the problem and the decisions that you made.

• Identification of legal issues;
• Identification and analysis of relevant law;
• Ability to apply the law to a factual scenario;
• Ability to provide clear, supportable conclusions;
• Effective communication and referencing; and
• Ability to reflect on problem-solving process.
