Unit Information

Unit organisation

Learning objectives

Successful completion of this unit should enable you to:

Have a general understanding of customary law in Australian, Indonesia and Malaysia

and its relationship to national and international law;

Discuss critically certain aspects of customary law in context; and

Evaluate various jurisprudential approaches to customary law and legal pluralism.

Participation

This unit will be delivered in the on-campus (in the CDU Moot Court, Yellow Building 1.3.48) and online modes simultaneously for five (5) intensive days, 10-14 December 2012 inclusively. Classes will be held for 7 hours daily, from 9:00 am CST until 5:00 pm CST with a one hour lunch break from noon until 1:00 pm. Students are welcome to attend in either mode or a combination of both. Classes will vary from lecture to seminar to tutorial. There are no marks for attendance and attendance in classes is not compulsory (though highly advisable to students wishing to pass the unit!). Students who cannot participate in live classes, either on campus or online, can listen to the recordings of the classes at a later date. Proposed assessment items (subject to change) are essay and take home exam.

In addition to these five days an introductory session will be held on Monday 5 Nov, 1:00

pm-2:00 pm in Yellow 1.1.39 (1 hour only) in which the broad context of the course will be set and in which students will be able to ask questions relating to the course.

Private study commitments It is recommended that students spend a couple of hours each evening of the course reading the set readings in preparation for the following days‟ learning activities. After the completion of the intensive course it is recommended that students undertake at least an additional one hundred (100) hours of private study in readings and completing the assessment tasks. Any related background reading conducted before the course begins will greatly assist.

Learning approaches

Students are expected to take responsibility for their own learning by keeping up with the required reading and assessment tasks. The single most reliable method of being successful in this unit is to complete all tasks on time, including staying up to date with the set reading, listening to lectures, making lecture notes, preparing for the tutorial and participating in the tutorial.

Reading:

The amount of reading in this subject is considerable. To improve your reading skills, you

may wish to consult the resources on effective reading at:

http://www.cdu.edu.au/graduateattributes/aquisition.html

3

Taking notes: To ensure you remember the information you are learning in the lectures and readings, it is important that you take notes while you study. Note-taking turns the 'passive' act of listening to a lecture or reading a document into an 'active' learning exercise. Start with the lecture notes provided for each lecture and expand upon them as you are listening to the lecture and as you do the set reading. To get the most out of your notes, read back over them and re-word them, thinking about how to best summarise what you are learning. Use your notes to jot down your own thoughts, ideas, feelings, and responses to what you are learning. If you review and collate your notes effectively, then you will have done most of the preparation for the assessment tasks. CDU provides an online guide to effective study skills at: http://learnline.cdu.edu.au/studyskills/. The section on 'Lectures and Tutorials' outlines various note-taking techniques that can help you take notes most effectively. Discussion: Your participation on the discussion boards is not assessed in this unit. However, students are expected to exhibit polite and respectful behaviour on the discussion boards at all times. You should continue to use the discussion boards to:

help each other to understand the unit materials;

respectfully debate and discuss ideas and issues related to the course;

test out your own ideas and learn about other students' perspectives;

encourage each other and pass on tips for surviving university; and

develop your communication skills. Many students use the discussion boards to form local or online study groups with other students. Time Management Skills: Studying at university develops your time management skills. You are responsible for ensuring that you meet important due dates, and for keeping up with a regular study program. Good organisational skills are essential for all graduates in today's workforce. Find routines and time-management techniques that work for you.

Learnline

Law at CDU is taught on campus and online. The lectures, tutorials and all learning materials are exactly the same whether students study on campus or online. All law students (including

on campus students) need to access Learnline on a very regular basis (daily for intensive units such as this) to obtain the information they need to study. Learnline is the online system used to deliver law and other courses at CDU. You can access Learnline by visiting the CDU website (www.cdu.edu.au) and finding the link to Learnline, or you can go directly to Learnline using the following URL: http://learnline.cdu.edu.au/ When you get to Learnline you need to log in using your CDU username and password. If you don‟t know your CDU username and password please contact ITMS on 08 8946 6600 or email [email protected] Once you have logged in you can explore the content and functions in each unit you are enrolled in. Primarily you navigate by the icons on the left side of the screen. One of the icons will be called „Online classroom‟ or words to that effect. Click on that icon and you will see the different times the tutorials are held. All times are CST (Central Standard Time, that is the time in Darwin).

another person assisting in the production of an assessment submission without the express

information and ideas expressed by others, but this use must be identified by appropriate

referencing (CDU Academic and Scientific Misconduct policy 3.3 v.1). The CDU law school

takes plagiarism extremely seriously. Your submitted work will automatically be

checked for plagiarism, so don’t take the risk.

For further information on referencing, refer to Study Skills Online.

Plagiarism will result in an automatic Fail and the student may be subject to disciplinary

action by the University.

The University policy on academic and scientific misconduct is the overarching CDU policy

on plagiarism.

of its programs.

receives, after survey responses have been analysed, contain no information to identify an

individual student.
