Topics
This semester we will be looking at 4 topics: These include:
Assessment
There are three assessment components: Course work, Issues Analysis and the Individual Presentation. The
summative tasks are outlined on the sheet.
Please note that as with all Stage One subjects, SSABSA guidelines for handing in assessment tasks will be strictly
adhered to. Failure to submit assessment pieces on the due date will result in a zero being recorded for that task.
Emailing assessment tasks is NOT recommended. If illness prevents any other form of submission, a phone call to
me or an email is acceptable. A follow up email or phone call will confirm the arrival of the assessment task.
NB. Some changes may be necessary in relation to the timing and nature of the summative tasks. In order to
achieve a Satisfactory Achievement (SA) in Legal Studies, you need to have an overall standard in the above tasks
of at least 50%.
