Assessment

Grading

  • Mock trial preparatory paper (40%)**
  • Mock trial presentation         (20%)
  • Individual closed book exam (40%) 

** Should group members have differing opinions on how to allocate points to individual students, a qualified majority within the group has the authority to decide on an alternative distribution of points for each student. Please get in touch with me if there is a need to implement this measure due to instances of free-riding within the group.

Grading Scale: Insufficient (5) 0 – 60,9%, Sufficient (4) 61. – 70,9%, Satisfactory (3) 71 – 80,9%, Good (2) 81 – 90,9%, Excellent (1) 90.9 – 100%
