Legal Research LEG120

Start with a written summary of the unit.

Assessments
The Lab Report is broken into 2 parts, the intro and the report. Tracy will give you a reference to a book (Essay Writing in Physchology, or something similar.) I HIGHLY suggest you read the section on Lab Reports as it will give you the EXACT structure that Tracey is looking for. That is the only major assessment in this unit.

Workload
The workload is relatively low, with the main focus on statistics and SPSS, once you've got your head around that, the rest of the unit is pure application. The Author of the textbook, David E Gray has a youtube channel:

And Chapter 2 of his book is available here 

(Note: this is not plagiarism as it is only one chapter of his work)

Overall Positives
Tracey Woolrych, the lecturer for this unit is super nice, despite her jokes being a bit corny at times. The unit also gives you great knowledge of referencing (APA) for the other social sciences (Criminology, Psychology etc), as those other units tend to gloss over them.

Overall Negatives
If you are studying CRM100 - Introduction to Criminology, it can get confusing as you'll have the same lecturer, and your assignments and content are quite similar for the first few weeks.
