4.3 Assignment Explanations

Civil Procedure is going to be a writing intensive course for Fourth Year students. Each stream will be separated into smaller classes in order to provide the students with more intensive oversight and feedback in the tutorial sections. 

The tutorial assistants will develop   multiple writing assignments that will be the basis of the coursework mark in the course.  Students will not be allowed to conduct group work.  Thus the tutorial assistants will be creating multiple assignments.

  1. Assessment Criteria

 

                Coursework/Test                                             30%

  1. Faith in Teaching [1-3 ideas of how Faith is incorporated in content or learning – bible reference, examples; relation to Christian ethics or concepts; faith in action/service, etc]

Ecclesiastes 3:1-2

“To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;”

This is the time to plant and what you plant is what you will sow.
