BTF2223: Corporate Crime

40% essay
60% open book exam

the essay was okay to deal with. make sure you find someone good to work with because this is a partnered assignment and that you're on the same page. this is a very wordy essay and requires you to basically copy information from the lecture slides and look at academic sources to cite them to make it look legit lol.
40% for the essay was quite scary though but make sure you follow the rubric sheet and always do recommendations at the end of your essay even though that isn't on the rubric sheet because she expects it but won't tell you (i got 34/40 but lost marks cuz i didnt do one and that was her only comment).

the lecture/tutorial thing is where she expects to engage with you. so she'll casually read off the lecture slides but then she'll call up people to answer questions which is quite daunting if u have anxiety problems (lol me irl). sometimes she won't call up names and she'll just go down the seating which means u cant avoid. yikes!
she would often threaten to start a roll because of dropping attendance numbers in the lectures.

exam is very fair. u get like 20 minutes noting time and u can basically write dot points in the question page about how ur gonna answer ur questions and write page numbers to ur open books so u'll be constantly writing in the exam and wont have to flick through ur book mindlessly

i think she said this semester she's changing up the assessments for 2019+ and getting u to do an oral (thank god i dont have to do go through that)
the content however, is very well presented and very interesting. learning about white collar crime and corporate crime was a very good experience and something i can carry with me outside of uni.

Yes, just 1 thats a mock exam (some of the mc in the practice exam was actually in the real exam )

3 out of 5

Yes but it took the lecturer till the 5th week to figure out how to record it lol and sometimes she wouldn't record it to punish those who didn't go to the lecture (she would complain about the lack of people coming)

the prescribed textbook can be taken from the library. u can download each chapter per account. so if u have friends, get them to download an extract and u can have the book for free lol. the downside is that u can't bring it into the exam

x1 3hr lecture thats kind of a tute?
