Word Count The maximum word count for this assessment is 3,000 words (inclusive of headings and references (such as case law and legislation)). Students who exceed the maximum word limit by more than 10% will be penalised with 1 mark for every 10 words. Referencing Students are expected to reference cases and legislation only, and will not be required to comply with in-text referencing (such as Harvard System or AGLC). For referencing, it is sufficient to reference in the same style and manner as you would in a written exam. For example, it is sufficient to cite the case in brackets, without full citation details (Donoghue v Stevenson) or cite the legislation, for example, the Australian Consumer Law. Blackout Period prior to Exams It is a general school policy to have a blackout period prior to an exam scheduled and during the formal exam period. This blackout period starts on midday of the previous business day of your exam. This means that you should not expect a response to any exam related question from this point onwards. For exams scheduled on a Monday, you should only expect a response to questions asked before midday on the previous Friday. The blackout period covers email contact, queries in person, via office phone and Canvas. Discussion boards on Canvas will also be locked for this period, in order to protect you from the creation of last-minute panics and confusion on Canvas.
All Swinburne Law School staff members are required to adhere to the blackout policy unless there are exceptional circumstances to deviate from it; for example, if you want to seek advice about special consideration or you cannot sit your exam/assessment. The blackout period also includes the 24 hours during which your Final Assessment is scheduled. Extensions and Late Submission Students applying for extension will be required to use the normal process for Special Consideration. Unless an extension has been approved, late submissions will result in a penalty. You will be penalised 10% of your achieved mark for each part of a day that the task is late, up to a maximum of 5 days. After 5 days, a zero result will be recorded. Technology and Health Issues Remember, do not leave your submission until the final few minutes. If,
