| Outcomes: Students acquire an appreciation of religious diversity in Australia and consider the implications of such religious diversity for Australian law; and undertake research of a specific issue examining the relationships between law and religion. |
| |
| Content: This unit invites students to undertake an interdisciplinary and comparative study of the relationship between law and religion and its implication for Australian law, religious tolerance and freedom. Issues are considered from the viewpoints of a range of religions, belief systems and academic disciplines. Classes cover a broad spectrum of topical issues. Students pursue research of individually chosen essay topics or undertake research-related work through placements with suitable community or legal organisations. |
| |
Assessment: This comprises a research paper or placement within a community organisation plus several brief reflection papers.
Supplementary assessment is not available in this unit except in the case of a bachelor's pass degree student who has obtained a mark of 45 to 49 and is currently enrolled in this unit, and it is the only remaining unit that the student must pass in order to complete their course. |
