Education Policy

Change in course unit structure

The AULSS welcomes the change to a 3/6 unit structure while retaining a 12 unit per semester load, but stresses that the change will not lead to an unacceptable drop in the electives offered.

Assessment Policy

• That students be provided with their results within a reasonable time for the purposes of adjusting their academic performance and submitting academic appeals;
• That students be provided with adequate feedback on all assessments;
• That students be provided with their results for each assessment item and that any movement due to scaling, moderation or other forms of adjustment be made available to students;
• That schools conduct annual surveys of student responses to the quality of teaching and learning in every unit and review and take into account the results of these surveys on an annual basis.

Melbourne Model

The LSS does not have a firm position on the Melbourne Model currently introduced at the University of Melbourne and will wait until further information and statistics are available before making a recommendation to the School of Law.
