Class participation (20%): Students will lead the class discussion for 1 tutorial class which will be completed by being on-call for the duration of the class. Students will be expected to have read all of the prescribed cases and materials and reviewed the problem questions for that class. Students who are on-call can be called upon at any point to answer questions about the class materials. On-call allocations will be made by the tutor and published on Canvas by the first lecture. Tutorial on-calls will commence from the first tutorial. Students who are unable to make their allocated class must apply for Special Consideration and email the unit coordinator. A failure to lead the class discussion in the allocated class will result in 0/20 for this assessment and may lead to an Absent Fail grade

This task targets Learning Outcome LO1 by requiring students to demonstrate an understanding of the key concepts and principles of Australian corporate law in applying them correctly to hypothetical problem scenarios discussed in class. The task targets Learning Outcome LO2 by assessing the student's capacity to demonstrate critical thinking about the operation of the Corporations Act and the policies that underpin Australian corporate law in giving advice to a hypothetical client in the class discussion questions. This task also targets Learning Outcome LO3 by requiring students to critically evaluate the development of corporate law principles while taking into account different values and perspectives in answering hypothetical problem questions and contributing to general class discussions.

Problem Assignment (20%): Students will provide a written advice on a hypothetical problem scenario provided on Canvas by the first lecture and due on 4 July at 9am. Students are expected to apply relevant cases and legislation drawn from the prescribed readings. The maximum word length is 1,500 words.

Students who are approved Special Consideration for the above mentioned tasks may receive an extension or alternative task at the discretion of the Unit Coordinator. 

Final exam (60%): Students will undertake an online take-home exam (48 hours) which will be released 18 July, 12pm noon and due 20 July, 12pm noon. The final exam features a mix of problem and/or essay questions. The maximum word count for the entire exam is 3,500 words (including footnotes). The outcome of a successful Special Consideration application is a replacement examination. The outcome of a successful Special Consideration application for a replacement examination may be another replacement examination or a viva voce.
