1.2010 Governor-General’s Undergraduate Essay Competition
There is only two months until the closing date of the 2010 Governor-General’s Undergraduate Essay Competition, which is offering up to $33,000 in cash prizes to the winning authors of 2,500 word essays.
Now in its seventh year, it is Australia’s most prestigious essay competition and provides undergraduate university students (including LLB, JD and Honours students) with the opportunity to be recognised for their academic skill, talent and research.
A prestigious panel judges the finalists essays each year. The panel for last year’s competition was chaired by the Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia, The Hon R. S. French AC.
The highly topical and engaging competition questions can be accessed at www.essaycompetition.com.au
The competition closes on Friday, 17 December 2010 at 5pm AEST.
2.Semester 2 Unit Evaluations
Semester 2 Unit Evaluations are continuing and we would really appreciate your participation in the Unit Evaluation process for each of the Semester 2 Units in which you are enrolled. Student response rates are down compared with this time last year and we would really like to get your feedback about the Units you have been doing in Semester 2.
In Law we evaluate most of our Units as paper based surveys, so this means that a survey will be administered during class. A few Units are evaluated online so if you have not yet completed the online survey for your Unit then we encourage you to do so. You will be sent reminder emails from MQU – the central Monash Quality Unit to remind you to do this.
Your feedback about Units is taken seriously and the Chief Examiners use this information each year to improve the quality of the Units. We would really appreciate any constructive criticism about how we can make the Units even better, plus of course any positive feedback about why you thought your Units were really good!
