I agree that this is acceptable, you are changing the mode not the assessment type.

HI Marcus,
Kevin and I just had a chance to catch up on this – we think because the Faculty is not changing
the 
the type of assessment (i.e. it’s still an exam), but rather the mode of assessment that it is a
reasonable adjustment to make. 
Official 
Bridget, would you agree?

Thanks Heather, any guidance would be much appreciated.

We understand that as the policy stands at the moment  we can't change the assessment
(because the teaching is halfway completed) but would like to change to in person exams if
possible since we are concerned about academic integrity for these foundation courses.
Thanks again and looking forward to hearing from you

Ah, of course.  Apologies, I didn’t read your email properly.  The second part of an AB is
technically the part that is assessed, but I think we’d have to check with John that he’s happy for
the policy on assessment changes to be applied in this way.  There may be other courses in the
same category (Nursing?)

I think the provision allowing ‘substantive changes’ to assessment up until the start of teaching
would cover this.  Kevin, would you agree?

Dear Heather,
I’ve caught up with Bronwyn re the discussion around exam policy in sem 2 at the ADcop
meeting on Monday.
I would like to ask that, if possible, the policy should make it clear what we can do for papers
which have already started teaching but have advertised that they are having an online exams. Is
there any possibility to change to in person exams for these courses in light of our experience re
academic integrity with sem 1 exams?
In particular, we have six full year courses which we would like to move to in person exams but
the DCOs etc have been saying they will have online exams since the start of the year.

Any help/guidance much appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance

Hi Heather,
Thank you very much for these. Unfortunately I can’t be there on Monday as I’m teaching, but
Bronwyn will be flying the law flag.
However, two points I’d like to note:
1. Law will be applying for exceptions for most/all (depending on course director approval)
of our Council of Legal Education (CLE) courses to be examined and invigilated on campus.
under 
At most, that will be 10 courses. This is in light of the experience of exams in sem 1,
collaboration allegations and the risk assessment that it is less likely we will slip into
lockdown in November! Not sure if other faculties will ask for exemptions, but it might be
interesting to see indicative numbers and what impact that has on the process of approval
the 
and time frame (both of which would be good to have asap).
2. The course offerings online for overseas students from 2022 will be of two types: those
Official 
we need to offer because they are CLE requirements and those that are being offered
because we think they will work well online. We need to think how we communicate that
to students overseas since the CLE required courses won’t necessarily be gold standard
online offerings, but are only offered because we have to. That is, we won’t be effectively
teaching two courses (online and on-campus) for the CLE courses, but the other, elective
Information 
courses we say are available to be offered online will be because they do work well online.
Hope that helps, let me know if you have any questions at all!
Have a great weekend

In person exams in sem 2?
Dear all,
At the start of semester 1 this year the Uni made a decision that all exams would be held
online and uninvigilated. This was to provide certainty and to avoid a repeat of last year
Information 
when the exams had to go online halfway through the exam period.
However, after our experience of uninvigilated exams in sem 1, there are very
good reasons to believe that there has been increased incidents of academic misconduct
in the law exams.
With that in mind, and with the hope that lockdowns will be less likely to happen as the
year continues (famous last words I know…) the Executive believes that the reasons to
Act 
keep the sem 2 exams online are less strong than they were. This is particularly true of our
CLE mandated papers (Contract, Torts, Public, Criminal, Land, Equity, Ethics) and our
1982
papers which provide entry into part II (121, 131 and 141). If you are willing, I intend to
apply for exemptions from the University for these papers to be held in person, invigilated
on-campus (just like they were prior to COVID). We will have to prepare an online exam
format for these papers as well in case we go into lockdown quickly.
Therefore, as course directors of these papers, would you please be able to let me know
by Wed next week (30 June) whether or not you would like your exam at the end of sem 2
back on campus. The shortened timeframe is so we can apply for exemptions from the Uni
and then let the students know asap.
If you do not wish to change, then your exam will continue to be online, time limited and
uninvigilated (as the sem 1 exams have been).
Please let me know if you have any questions at all.

All the best

I've been in touch with Dylan (cc'd) as he's teaching 121 next semester. Given what we've
been through in first semester he would like to seek an exemption to the online rule so
that 121 can have an in-person exam in semester 2. 
If you have any questions or need more info, don't hesitate to get in touch.

HI Marcus,

Kevin and I just had a chance to catch up on this – we think because the Faculty is not changing
the type of assessment (i.e. it’s still an exam), but rather the mode of assessment that it is a
reasonable adjustment to make. 
Bridget, would you agree?

there any possibility to change to in person exams for these courses in light of our experience re

In particular, we have six full year courses which we would like to move to in person exams but
the DCOs etc have been saying they will have online exams since the start of the year.

Hi Heather,
Thank you very much for these. Unfortunately I can’t be there on Monday as I’m teaching, but
Bronwyn will be flying the law flag.
However, two points I’d like to note:
1. Law will be applying for exceptions for most/all (depending on course director approval)
of our Council of Legal Education (CLE) courses to be examined and invigilated on campus.
At most, that will be 10 courses. This is in light of the experience of exams in sem 1,
collaboration allegations and the risk assessment that it is less likely we will slip into
lockdown in November! Not sure if other faculties will ask for exemptions, but it might be

interesting to see indicative numbers and what impact that has on the process of approval
and time frame (both of which would be good to have asap).
2. The course offerings online for overseas students from 2022 will be of two types: those
we need to offer because they are CLE requirements and those that are being offered
because we think they will work well online. We need to think how we communicate that
to students overseas since the CLE required courses won’t necessarily be gold standard
online offerings, but are only offered because we have to. That is, we won’t be effectively
teaching two courses (online and on-campus) for the CLE courses, but the other, elective
courses we say are available to be offered online will be because they do work well online.
Hope that helps, let me know if you have any questions at all!
Have a great weekend

Dear Heather and Kevin,
We are starting the draft data collection for sem 2 and need to confirm in course view whether
the exams are in person or online.
Have we got to the stage where we can confirm that the exemptions for sem 2 exams will be
Information 
granted? We need to start letting students/course directors know as well if possible.
Thanks very much
Marcus

Dear Heather,
Please find below the number of online students in each course for law exams asking for an
exemption for on campus exams at the end of sem 2.
Please note that the following is the headcount by course at as today. LAW121G, 131, 141 and
LAW458 numbers are subject to changes, as the last day to change Sem 2 enrolments is Friday
30th July.  Especially for LAW131 and 141, we are likely to drop over 100 students from both
courses, once LAW121G Sem 1 results are out and there will be over 100 students not meeting
the minimum grade to progress to 131/141.  Therefore, we may run a student list now as an
indication, and run a final list after Friday 30th July. (FYI – the last day to change double-semester
AB enrolments was 26th March, so we don’t expect any change in the Pt 2 or Pt 3 double-
semester courses.)

Good afternoon all, 
Sorry for this confusion but that list is incorrect in one respect – the last course should read “Law 
458 Legal Ethics”. The course number is correct, but the name is not. Everything else is as stated. 
Thanks 
Marcus
