    How to approach an assessment

    1. Memorise the legal rules and principles


    2. Understand them for a practical application
    3. Check the mark total and time: calculate the time per mark that you must
    spend on a question during the assessment.
    4. Answer direct questions briefly without long explanations.
    5. Where a factual problem (long/application question) is presented:
    - identify who is upset
    - Identify what he/she wants
    - Identify the area of law that is relevant to the issue
    - Write down the basic legal principles, and provide an answer to the question
    What you do not need to know/do

    Memorise long lists that are EXPRESSLY identified in class


    as not suitable for testing:

    i.e. case references


    Act numbers and years
    Divisions of the High Court etc.

    Case names WHERE specifically mentioned in class must be memorised


    As well as the principle that was introduced by the judgment

    YOU DO NOT HAVE TO READ THE CASES, just the text in the textbook
