I thought no, but in my exam today for Crime Prevention, even though we didn't have to reference, I found it useful just in case they would pose a question in a certain way, I'd give them an answer but not the one they were looking for, then my referencing is back-up for why I have put that answer there. Also gives weight and sometimes comes naturally.

i assumed we did since a lot of the evaluating torts is in the articles we read and susan kept saying how important it was to familiarise yourself with them.= Jennifer = said:does anyone know if we have to reference for the essay question?
plus if you dont your arguments are totally just opinion so logically, being law and since they're always on about supporting your arguments i assumed we were meant to
Hey,
I didn't think like a 3hr exam - with lots of essays - was that odd.. but it would seem, lots of ppl's uni's exams r like sometimes purely m/c or one friend at a uni, like knew the q's b4 hand. Guess it depends on the subject and the uni!

I think it is better we don't have M/C questions.
Last year in Psychology, we had an exam with 120 Multiple Choice Questions.

hmm...well...i only know a few people with m/c stuff in their tests...Angel45 said:
most people io'v talked to have all essays or short answer and essays or case study and essays or something like that
its not too bad.. my business one's have been 3 essays in 3 hrs and i had time left over and i was writing slow to make sure it was legible lol so i dont think it'll be too bad
i think m/c in law is just silly coz there is hardly ever like.. a 'right and wrong' answer... i mean, its kinda hard to ask difficult m c questinos about rule of law n stuff.. anmd even if they did manage too, it dioesnt really prove that we've learnt anything and that we understand concepts and can argue well
m/c are only really fab for lucky dopey ppl who guess their way thru lol... people who know their stuff tend to do not as well as usual coz they question the answers too much

I had a true/false exam last year with short answer and essay questions. The questions weren't that bad.

Now to drive out torts for you all....
Nervous Shock:
the courts have original defined three control tests:
-Normal Fortitude of Plaintiff
-Sudden Sensory Perception
-The 'distressing' phenomenom test
All were rejected in as pre-conditions in Tame & Annetts. But the CLA brings back the requirements. Rather than solcing problems, it seem we will be writing up a lecture on the avenues the court would take. Any thoughts?

true false are way easier but i reckon.. coz you know one is right and one is wrong, whereas m/c is often the 'most correct' and often more than 1 answer is actually correct and its one silly tiny point that makes it the 'most' correct one...Jonathan A said:

um... particularly neg situations - rescuers, occupiers, negligent misstatements, nervous shock, pure economic loss, Non-delegable duty of care and concurrent liability... i think that;s itraven1 said:
