Introduction
This year residential school for LAW309 will be delivered completely online. This will still be a valuable time of learning and assessment preparation and you are encouraged to take part. Being online allows flexibility advantages. I have planned a blend of synchronous (live and interactive) and asynchronous (recorded, non-interactive) sessions. This means you can plan your day around the synchronous sessions and will not require a total day out from work/childcare. You can elect to listen/watch the asynchronous sessions at a time that suits you.
Where it is indicated there is pre-work or post-work for a session, you will need to undertake the work set before the session to get the most out of the session I am hosting. This may include worksheets. Each session’s zoom link and its worksheet will be located in the Residential School folder on your subject site. For example, drafting an essay response in practice for the exam will need you to do a bit of pre-reading and take time to draft your response, so that you can submit this in time for feedback. Each session is optional – so you choose whether to participate or not.
Within your subject site there is a group sign up. Groups are limited to 8 people and you can self-select what group you join. Group work will be necessary for the draft an essay activity and examination preparation sessions.
My goal is to have you finalise residential school with some good study notes that consolidate your understanding on topic areas, ready for the exam.
What I can assure you of is that if you put the work in and use this opportunity, you will find it rewarding and be in great shape for the exam!
