• LAWS3508/5208: In addition to the assessment tasks listed above, law students enrolled through LAWS 3508 and LAWS5208 are required to submit a 1500 word disciplinary reflection at the end of the semester. Students will receive notification through Canvas with detailed instructions from the Unit of Study Coordinator in Law, Professor Simon Rice <simon.rice@sydney.edu.au>.
• Individual contribution to group work mark: The Group Project Report is worth 50 marks.  Ten of the 50 marks is an individual mark awarded for a students’ individual contribution to the group’s work, culminating in the Report. Individual contribution is assessed by the Project Supervisor. Ordinarily it is assumed that all members of a group contribute equally to group work, and that the same overall grade and mark out of 50, should be received for the Group Project Report, by each group member.  In the ordinary case then, the grade given for the individual contribution mark would be the same as the grade given for the group report mark.  So if the grade for the group report was to be a DI (80% = 40/50 = 32/40 = 8/10), all students would receive 40/50 (32+8) (DI). In some cases however, there may be evidence that a member of a group has significantly undercontributed to groupwork, or has substantially contributed to the work contributed on behalf of group, where other members have failed to adequately contribute. In those cases the student may merit a higher or lower mark out of 50 than other group members.  In these cases, the individual contribution mark out of 10, can be used to make this adjustment. Project supervisors will specify the information that will be taken into account in assessing group contribution.
