Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone has a fail-proof formula for acing a question on DOP.
Anything really. I keep tripping up on it, like leaving out certain points or not elaborating enough on one.
Help please?

THANKS!

there is no fail proof formula. This ain't maths. Just learn what you need to learn about DoP and ensure that you can provide enough info for the marks they allocate. DoP will most likely be a 6-8 marker this year

it gets me too

and the question on the 08 threw me off.. the sample answer on the assessment report for it's not great either.. i struggled doing the question open book lol

just remember RODD
reversing
overruling
disapproving
distinguishing


waiit i think im crapping on about the wrong thing.....

 if its an 6-8 marker what would you then talk about in terms of the DOP?

[Heiby]

explain all the steps in detail and talk about how it establishes an effective legal system?

thats part of it yes

would that also involve giving a bitting of strengths and weaknesses on the DOP? like how its rigid and restrictive nowadays but at the same time ensures consistency and certainty, etc.

yer that's actually an integral part of DoP soo make sure you use them points. However ensure that you are answering the q.
