To receive credit for Legal Studies 390, you must complete two written assignments and a final essay with a précis. The weightings for each item are as follows:

Activity Credit Weight Date Due
Assignment 1 10% of final grade End of Unit 2
Assignment 2 15% of final grade End of Unit 6
Précis for Final Essay  5% of final grade End of Unit 7
Final Essay 70% of final grade End of Unit 11

You must obtain at least 50% in each of the course components to receive credit for this course.

The assignments correspond to the materials found in the Study Guide. They should be completed at the time indicated in the Study Schedule. When a graded assignment is returned to you, please call your tutor to review his or her comments and to discuss the assignment.

The major portion of your grade is reserved for a final essay on one of the topics given in the Student Manual. Before writing your essay, you must complete a précis that outlines your arguments. A précis should be short (1–2 pages), but should contain the essential points that your paper will cover.

When you have finished each written assignment, please mail/email it to your tutor with a Tutor-marked Exercise form (TME). An electronic version of the TME form can be found at myAU.
