Well done on your marks. How did you find remedies? I'm thinking of doing it (mostly because I can fit it into my timetable). And what was health law like?
Remedies is boring but they were reasonable flexible with assessment. As the first assessment was a hypothetical you could then choose between an essay or hypo for the final which was nice (take-home). Class participation marks were generous. Unfortunately they gave tiny word limits and insisted it was possible to correctly use IRAC and identify all relevant issues (I don't think anyone did) and they marked very slowly but that was the same for all my law units so yeah. Its not the best subject but having class participation out of 20 helps you gain some marks as well as allowing your to play to your strengths.
Health Law Health Law was incredibly interesting and I loved it however some ways that the course was structured made it difficult. While the assessment was well divided to all people to make up marks if they bomb in a single assessment (10% CP, 30% Group work, 30% optional mid sem 30%/60% final) allocating that much to group work was difficult as I found it reduced my expected marks as I had to rely on the work of others. Granted he did give 1 hr of 3 tutes to work on it.
The optional mid sem assessment was great for me as it allowed me to take some pressure of the final (as I had remedies due on the same day and access to justice's 4500 words due two weeks before) BUT the marking was slow and no one got marks until after the final which was unfortunate. However George is thinking of making this compulsary as like 2/3rds of the course did it anyway.
The final was good, it spans over the unit and he released it early, he is thinking of releasing it at the beginning of the unit next time as its one of those "what have you learnt blah blah questions"
Its abit theoretical but you tackle relevant issues like abortion, infectious disease, privacy, euthanasia, consent etc!
, I was kind of looking forward to that!
