Who here is doing this assignment?

How are you coping with it?

I'm just lost on how to set it out. I know i asked this in the law forum and natstar helped me, but i'm still confused.

Guys don't fret over it. Take a deep breath and relax over it. IBL assignments tend to be jam packed with laws in there.

When structuring your assignment, consider:

-Who are the parties to the claim and who do I have to advise?
-What area of Law would be appriopriate (Deciet/Negligence)?
-What are the elements of each tort?

Use headings and subheadings to guide your answer, it helps you and the marker.

A reminder that my mentoring session on Thursday (1-2) in EDG98 - Parramatta Campus will be covering the assignment.

Pity for us Blacktownians our assignment is due on Thursday at 2 p.m! :p It only dawned on me over the weekend just how much content you have to cover. So Jonathan you recommend using headings in the assignment? The best place to get cases other than the textbook would be Austlii ... but where specifically should I be searching? Any feedback would be very much appreciated. ;)

By the way, how did other I.B.L students do on their first assignment? Many of the marks weren't too crash hot but I am really pleased/suprised. :D

I got my assignment 1 mark back today. I got 6/10. It's weird because on each of the 4 pages there were ticks on each page. 12 ticks on the first 3 pages (4 on each page) and one on the last page. Also, he underlined only 2 phrases from my whole assigment (on the last page) and made just one comment, and it was at the end. I looked at my mates one, he has heaps of comments and had some of his info marked in read as irrelevant. He ended up getting 6.5.

How's this so? Am i able to talk to my lecturer, who is my tutor, about this?

You could go to Austlii, however the full case is massive and Austlii only covers from 1952 onwards. Many torts cases are from the House of Lords or Court of Appeal in England. I recommend a textbook, Luntz and Hambly or Balkin and Davis.

You could also use Stuhmcke's book "Essential Tort Law".

Oh and for assignment 2, i've used these headings.

John vs Lucy.
Kim vs Lucy.
Lucy vs King.

Is this ok?

You can set it out this way. (BTW, use 'v' as opposed to 'vs', we in Australia refer to the 'v' as "And" not "versus' like in the US)

State the areas of law- torts etc
State the issues of the problem- What do you want to find out etc
State facts of law- go through the issues and state the laws regarding them
Apply facts of law to the issues
Conclusion- remember to state information that would be more helpful to make a more conclusive verdict.

This is how i was taught last semester. I got 20/30 for the assignment. Tho John would know better lol, he got soemthing insane like 28 lol

Pretty much what you have to do as Natstar suggested.

Issues, Law and Application.

What are the issues?

What law is relevant to those?

How does this law apply to my issues?

i have gone over the 2750 word limit by 386 words is that too much

I think that is a tad too many. The leway is 10% I think, but it doesn't say that on the assignment sheet. 3000+ words is just too much!

hehe yer.. 350 over might be just a tad too much... they say 10%, but if u find yourself going over, grab a red pen, print it off, and edit :) i find myself editing and rephrasing about 5 times (after i had finished the content material) before i had it in. i did however go over the word limit by about 400 in assignment 1 :( . I ended up getting 7 for that, whether or not marks were deducted for word length.. i duno.

what was the avg for ass1?

ive got assignments due for everyone of my subjects this week.. (4), and another 2 due next week... im gonna cry, my law one is sititn .. half done on my desk, and cant be looked at until i get all these others ones done :(
