Assessment

10% mcq test - 10 mc questions for 15 minutes. can bring double sided cheat sheet. very easy i think.
30% assignment - a few short answer questions that are similar to exam style question. was very doable
60% exam - fair
Comments
this was an elective of mine because i am interested in law units centering around commerce. this was very much a bludge (i put minimum effort in this unit and it was my highest mark) but a lot of accounting students struggled in this unit from what i gathered. here is the final grade distrubution:

there are much easier law units to do in commerce so i would avoid this one as it is a bit complex and gets into the really nitty gritty of tax law and trying to work around its intricacies is quite difficult.
i loved shafis engaging personality as well as melchor's teaching style. they helped me get thorugh this unit even though i was falling half asleep in the tutes that werent even compulsory. i only went to tutes because they refused to give out answers to tutorial questions which you pretty much needed for the final exam as they were similar to exam questions.
