Comprehension check-in – Frequently asked questions
1.
What weeks of the course may be assessed?
For comprehension check-in #1, material for weeks 1-5 could be covered.
For comprehension check-in #2, material for weeks 1-7 could be covered.
2.
Do I need to conduct research beyond the course textbook, lecture materials and tutorial workshops?
No additional research is not necessary. However, to answer the question and justify your response, you should be engaging with the lecture and workshop material, as well as any required readings. 3.
Can I copy and paste from the course textbook, lecture or tutorial materials, academic sources or online sources?
No. You need to respond to each question in your own words
. Students who do not answer the questions in their own words will not do well in this assessment (this is an academic integrity issue). 4.
Can I work with another student/s for this assessment or any other person?
No. This is an individual task. Working with other students or any other person is likely to be considered as academic misconduct. 5.
Is there a word limit when I explain my response to each multiple choice question?
We will not be checking word counts – but as a guide, please limit your response to 2-3 sentences for each question. The following provides an example of how you might respond to a multiple choice question in 2-3 sentences. Please note that you must highlight the correct answer, and then provide a brief explanation as to why that was the appropriate response.
Many Australian jurisdictions have introduced tougher legal responses to issues of
domestic and family violence. If you held a consensus view of law, how would you
describe the role of these laws?
a)
A consensus view of law does not have anything to say about the role of laws.
b)
These laws represent the dominant group using their power to control other
groups that represent a threat to the existing social order.
c)
These laws, particularly their enforcement, reinforce common meanings of
appropriate behaviour, and thus reaffirm group cohesion.
d)
These laws represent the increasing rationalisation of the legal system.
e)
These laws create a process whereby the status of offenders is transformed to
one of “criminal”.
Explanation
: A consensus view of the law is underpinned by an understanding that criminal laws represent the common values that are important to society as a whole, rather than the interests of any dominant group. From that perspective, if tougher laws were introduced in response to issues of domestic and family violence, this is primarily to reinforce that this specific type of criminal offending is not accepted by the
community. Further, punishment of this behaviour helps to maintain the moral order and reaffirm the boundaries of what is and is not acceptable behaviour.
