ASSESSMENT
Students are required to obtain knowledge of the relevant law and be able to apply that knowledge in a problem-solving context. This involves the ability to identify and analyse relevant issues. Assessment procedures will test both unit content and application of that content. Following are descriptions of the 3 forms of assessment in this unit including factors which are relevant to maximising results.

1.Tutorial Participation:
Note that there is a Rubric on i Learn in relation to this assessment – you should use the material in this Assessment Guide to assist in an understanding of your task and to assist in your understanding of the Rubric.
Tutorials should be used by students to test their understanding of the unit in an environment where immediate feedback is available from the tutor students should be prepared for tutorials and any materials that are relevant to the tutorial should be considered prior to the tutorial (this includes any tutorial questions that will be dealt with). Students must be engaged with the issues relevant to the tutorial and be involved in tutorial activities,particularly, responding to and asking questions being active is an important aspect of both study and professional practice and tutorials will be of more benefit to all students if each individual is willing to participate the mark for assessed coursework includes the aspect of attendance in that students who do not attend obviously do not participate and this will be reflected in their mark – participation though, is more than mere attendance.

This assessment is about an understanding of effective communication – in the broader picture 3 aspects stand out:
Engagement:
note that although this obviously incorporates contributing it also involves listening attentively to both the tutors comments and to other students responses or questions – pro activity and receptiveness are both relevant.
Preparation:
the ability to communicate effectively and engage is based on a sound under standing of the relevant material – the better acquainted you are with tutorial issues and the relevant law the better you will be able to contribute to the class and digest matters that arise from the discussion.
Teamwork:
although a tutorial class may seem like a large team, it is still a team – that is there is a common goal – where each student takes some responsibility for contributing (within the parameters of the structure of the class) the standard of the whole class, and thus each of the students improves.
There are various skills and approaches involved in this assessment category but importantly these include your ability to prepare thoroughly (including knowing the relevant law and having carefully considered the tutorial questions) engage with discussion form an opinion and acknowledge other students opinions and communicate orally.
Following are examples of conduct that will indicate higher order performance in relation to assessed coursework:
