ASSESSMENT 3: LEGAL ANALYSIS

DUE SUNDAY 4TH December 11.00pm

The final document will be submitted via subject web page under the tab “Assignments”

The document must be double line spaced.

A COVER SHEET MUST BE INCLUDED

Word Limit and Referencing The word limit is 2500 words. The word count does not include headings, footnotes and list of references. However, footnotes must only be used for referencing purposes and must not contain any lengthy text or discussion. The ability to write clearly and succinctly is an essential business skill. Please check the word count before submission.

PENALTIES FOR WORD COUNT: Students must not exceed the word count on any assignment. Penalty for going above the word count is 5 marks per 100 words, or part thereof.

Extensions An extension will only be granted in the event of illness or bereavement, supported by evidence such as a medical certificate, in accordance with University policy. A request for an extension on these grounds and supported by evidence must be made by email to your tutor prior to the assignment due date. Requests received after the due date will not usually be granted Work, study load, other assessment due dates and family responsibilities are not grounds for an extension. All students have demands of this kind. You are expected to balance and prioritise your commitments so you submit your assignment on time. Unless a formal application for extension of time has been granted prior to the assignment submission date, the penalty for late submission set out below will be applied. This is in fairness to all students. Please note that marked assignments cannot be returned to the class until assignments granted extensions have been submitted and marked. For this reason extensions of no more than 5 days are usually granted. In fairness to the class as whole, no assignment will be accepted for assessment if submitted more than 7 days after the assignment due date. Writing and Style Guide The ability to write well is an essential skill for the practice of law and in business. You will be assessed on the clarity and accuracy of your writing. It is important, therefore, to write in clear, short sentences, to use words accurately, to always use punctuation and to use headings to guide the reader. Make sure you use appropriate authorities (cases and/or legislation) to support your statements. All your written work should use the style set out in the Harvard system. All we ask is that any assertions are referenced adequately and acknowledgements are given. Avoid plagiarism Plagiarism can have serious adverse consequences at the University and may affect your future career. For further information, please see below under ‘Academic Integrity’ Connection website at: http://www.unisanet.unisa.edu.au/learningconnection/student/studying/integrity.asp Late Submission A penalty of 5 marks will be deducted for each calendar day the assignment is late, unless a formal application for extension of time has been granted prior to the assignment submission date via Learn online. This is in fairness to the class as a whole and to encourage on time submission, which will be expected of you on the job as part of your professional responsibility. Please note that any application for formal extension on medical or bereavement grounds supported by evidence can only be granted in accordance with university policy. Submission The assignment must be submitted online as a Word document (not a pdf) and must include your name and UniSA student ID number as the file name. Follow instructions with the assignment. There is no resubmission of the legal analysis. Students who fail this assignment are not permitted to resubmit or redo the assignment.
