Examining Cases: Non-ideal Medical Ethics

Examining Cases: Non-ideal Medical Ethics

This end-of-semester examination involves providing students with a court ruling on a medical case that most will not have come across until that point. Students are expected to read the case under exam conditions, and bring their learning over the course of the semester to bear on their interpretation of the salient medical and legal points raised, determining their ethical implications. This is then tested over a number of multiple choice questions delivered via Examsoft.

Reflective Essay on Refugee Artefacts and Refugee Law

Sequence

Reflective Essay on Refugee Artefacts and Refugee Law

The assessment promotes critical reflection utilising refugee artefacts to enable law and politics students to connect their theoretical knowledge and understanding of international refugee law and human rights law with the 'lived experience' of certain asylum seekers detained offshore on Nauru or Manus Island. The assessment encourages students to reflect on their own learning experience by identifying and explaining the connections between selected refugee artefacts (including letters from the Burnside/Durham Collection in the Fryer Library, semi-autobiographical books, radio podcasts, cartoons, documentaries or op-ed newspaper pieces) and refugee and human rights law.

'Phone a Friend' Task

Team or Group based

'Phone a Friend' Task

One of the most common criticisms of law students on clinical placements is that they lack telephone communication skills. Speaking confidently over the telephone is an important part of working with clients, especially in law where advice is often provided over the phone. The 'phone a friend' task meets two aims at once: ensuring students have prepared for class, and encouraging them to develop their oral communication skills when using the telephone.
