For Discuss and evaluate type questions.

P.S. Thank you to lloyd18 for providing the questions!

Hi, for Question 12 it states "Using one referendum and one high court case, analyse the impact of referendum and the high courts interpretation of the commonwealth constitution on the division of law making powers."
For this question i used the right cases but did not explain the strength and weaknesses because after reading the questio several times i came to the conclusion that they were not asking us for strength and weaknesses, but to 'analyse' how these 'cases" changed the division of law making power
i explain this in great detail, about the impact of these cases on the division of law making power due to the interpretation/deletion/amendment of the wording of the constitution
I really believe the question is not asking us to give the strengths and weaknesses due to the nature of the question and how it is directed precisely to the impact of the cases rather than an evaluation of the process
I am really worried about this because the suggested answers say other wise!!!!! Please tell me what you think, and what marks i would have received for naming the right cases and analyzing percisely how they changed the division of law making power in their own unique ways

We had similar questions on our Facebook page, and here's what our lecturer thinks:

"You don't necessarily have to provide strengths and weaknesses to get full marks but you can discuss it briefly."
"You can look at the two cases itself in detail but you could include a brief critique of the process."

Thanks, lets just hope my in depth analysis of the impact on the division of power in the two cases is enough! (yn)
