Post by: andy456 on February 04, 2010, 07:25:13 pm

Ive got a new teacher. She works hard, so she cares...
Last time she taught the subject 3-4/20 students got 45+.

On the subject itself im a little bit nervous as to whether ill be able to remember it all. At least we dont need to remember/learn entire chunks of texts word-for-word like in psych.

I also have a new teacher, who seems good. Very passionate and energetic in class which should help. We have a small class aswell, which is weird, last year there was 2 full classes. Hopefully can beat my friend who did it last year, he got 41. I swear my only motivation is competitiveness. Oh well works for me haha

I skipped 1&2, went straight into 3&4, hope it wasn't a mistake. My teacher is my homegroup teacher anyway, and she knows the loopholes in legal studies and she only tells me :D

Hopefully I'll get at least 35 ..

I had my first one last week. It was on the first dot point of the study design which is the first chapter of the justice and outcomes textbook. Hopefully I get my result back one monday or tuesday. I can only think of one thing I got wrong but I dont know if ill get a mark off for it.

I have my first SAC this week on Friday. It's on the first 3 chapters, so it shouldn't really be too bad.

Post by: Albeno69 on March 21, 2010, 05:56:30 pm
I had a SAC last month on chapter 1, got 95% on it, and the second SAC for the first Outcome is on Tuesday. Hoping for an A+ again, given alot of it is common sense, eg the difficulties in drafting legislation, strengths and weaknesses of Parliament as a law-maker etc.

I'm one of two boys in the class of about 20; the two of us and probably 1 or 2 girls are streets ahead of everyone else in terms of work ethic and talent for the subject. I'm hopinh got at least 40+ for it this year.
yea i started A.O.S 2 like 2 weeks ago gonna have that sac like first week back after holidays.
yea i got 50% on part one but for second teacher said everyone did extremely well so hoping an A.

You can basically teach yourself most of it by summarising the text book and memorising the key terms/concepts.

Exam preparation will be shocking though I reckon :P
its not that easy, well for me anyway
i struggle on expanding on an 8 mark question

Generally one mark is for giving an instance or an answer eg cater for new technology and another mark for an explanation of a few lines.

I got about 80% on my first SAC, just finished changes in the law SAC, hopefully its over 90% this time.

Does anyone have any useful resources for Legal? There is apparently a really good website in the Legal Studies Checkpoints book, but I've tried typing the site in and it doesn't work.
