Every University has a Student Law Society. Each year, usually during May,current first and second years e l e c t L a w S o c i e t y O f f i c e r s – notablyPresident, Vice President, Treasurer and Social Secretary.As a new LL.B student you will automatically become a member of the LawSociety. The Society is responsible for organising a programme of events andactivities that will help increase t h e enjoyment of your t i m e a t Ealing LawSchool. Students take full control of the running of the Law Society withoccasional help from staff.Typical activities organised by the Society in the past have included: Trips to theInner Temple, Lincolns Inn, Grays Inn and Middle Temple as well as trips toPrisons, Courts, fun days out (legal walks, staff student quiz night) and FundRaising Events (e.g. Book Sales, charity car washes, and mock auctions).Mooting & Debating Competitions (these are rather like 'mock trials') areactively encouraged to hone and sharpen your intellectual and advocacy skills.Our University c o m p e t e s a gainst other Universities in national competitions.Indeed some years ago we reached the final only narrowly losing to KingsCollege London University. Many successful lawyers cut their teeth in mooting atUniversity.Guest Speakers from the judiciary, legal and other professions as well as mediacelebrities will come along and share their life experiences with you.The highlight of the year is the Law Society Annual Ball or Party, which may beas formal or as informal as the Society decides. In the last few years it has beenorganised as a boat party on the River Thames.As a result of having joined the Society, many students have met people on theirvisits that have been useful in providing work experience. The UWL Law Societyis also on Facebook so make sure you join (Denning Lord).Finally our links with Ealing Equality Council and its award winning CommunityAction Program provide clinical paralegal training for our students. Moreinformation will be available when you arrive at the Law School.Page 5 of 13

Other InformationThe academic year is divided into two semesters: semester 1 runs fromSeptember to December and Semester 2 runs from January to May.The course is taught through lectures and tutorials. All lectures last at least onehour and some lecturers will allow you to record their lectures but always askthe lecturer before recording. Tutorials are designed to reinforce what wascovered in lectures with practical exercises, discussion and solutions. They canbe one or two hours depending on the subject.Your module (subject) leader will have set a number of questions which you haveto prepare for your tutorial. It is not always possible to take questions in thelecture so this is your chance to clarify any matters. Please don't be afraid to askquestions that is why we are here. Be warned some lecturers have been knownto eject those who have not prepared for tutorials. If for some reason you havenot been able to prepare for the tutorial talk to your tutor. This will avoid potentialembarrassment!The timetableYou will be able to download your timetable from the Student Portal – you willbe taught how to do this during Induction. You will note the days you arerequired to be on campus and will have worked out that this adds up to acommitment of at least 12 hours per week i.e. 3 modules per semester. Howeveryou will be expected to put in at least a further 12 hours preparing tutorials andresearching. Research and experience has taught us that those who regularlyattend perform better than those who don’t – attendance is monitoredelectronically and is compulsory. Non-attendance can lead to withdrawal from thecourse. Some tutors will not allow students to enter the classroom if late. Bewarned!Course RepresentativesShortly after the course begins you will have the opportunity to either stand as arepresentative or vote for a colleague. The role of the representative is to passon your views at course meetings with the Course Leader, which are usuallyheld once a semester. However if you are experiencing problems a t a n y t i m et h e n inform your personal tutor.Personal TutorsEach of you will be allocated a personal tutor. This person is here to check youare coping with the demands of the course and to provide any help you mayneed. Every discussion with your personal tutor is treated in confidence. Your tutoris equipped to deal with a wide range of problems from the academic topersonal. The University itself has a wide range of advisors to assist you.Page 8 of 13

If you believe that you have adisability which needs support then it is your responsibility to bring itto the attention of the University. Your privacy will be respected andprotected at all times and the University will endeavor to agree anIndividual Support Plan with you which will help you achieve yourpotential as a student. P lease discuss this further with your personal tutor.MaterialsThe student handbookThe handbook and it supplements explain in painstaking detail matters likecourse regulations, disciplinary codes, registration etc. Regrettably few studentsread this. It tends to get buried with all the other information you get in the firstfew weeks. Please take time to cast your eye over it. You should particularly notethe sections on cheating and plagiarism, assessments, complaints and appeals.All University policies are available on the website.Module study guides and learning materialsEach module leader will provide you with a module study guide (MSG) this will beavailable only to download using B lackboard, the virtual learningenvironment. This contains vital information about the module. Within this you willfind the module leaders contact information – email, phone. It will also provideyou with a week by week guide to the module topics to be studied and thetutorials. Crucially the method of assessing the module will be there (see later).You will also be provided with learning materials once again available only todownload via blackboard. These vary from module to module. Some are verydetailed others simply provide an overview of topics you will be covering. Inaddition to these you should note that you’re required to read the relevant textbooks and prepare seminar questions in advance of your class. The learningmaterials are no substitute for reading Law books.BooksEach module leader will provide you with a list of recommended text books.These are to be found in the module study guide. You are required to purchaserecommended texts. Although Law books are expensive, it is possible topurchase second hand books from some book-shops, although you must checkwith your lecturer to ensure that they are not out of date. The second and thirdyear students may have books to sell. There will be a book fair organised by theLaw Society in the first few weeks of Semester 1.Page 9 of 13
Blackboard and University EmailThe LL.B is supported online using the Blackboard Virtual Learning Environment.This is used for course documents and information, videos, links, pod-casts,discussion boards (subject specific) and past exam papers etc.You will be provided with a University email address which will be used tocommunicate with you i.e. events, class changes, moots etc. Therefore you arerequired to log onto Blackboard and check your University email at the very leastonce a day. It is your responsibility to receive announcements from staff whichare posted on Blackboard.AssessmentsEach module will be assessed in different ways. At the law school we will assessyou using compulsory formative (assessments intended to provide you withpractice and with critical feedback from module tutors) and summativeassessments (assessments which count towards your grade for that module). Sofor e x a m p l e i n C r i m i n a l L a w a n d P r o c e s s (Semester 1 and 2)you have to do 4 assessments over the year. One practice piece of work, twosummative course works and 1 exam.Each summative assessment is weighted b y a p e r c e n t a g e o f 1 0 0 %towards your final mark. Other assessments known as formative carry noweighting. Most modules will require you to log onto blackboard and complete aweekly formative assessment, you should note that these are compulsory and ifyou do not complete these you will not be eligible to pass the module even if youhave completed all summative assessments.When you are given your assessment there will be a hand in date e.g. November30th 5 pm, or midnight. All assessments are submitted electronically andtherefore you will be required to submit your assessment via Turnitin (plagiarismdetection software). On submission the system will generate your receipt.Always keep a backup copy of your work.We appreciate that occasionally personal problems may prevent you fromhanding in an assessment on time. In such case contact the Course Leader atleast 48 hours before the deadline , who may agree to give you a shortextension – however this is only granted in exceptional circumstances and youmust provide evidence in support, for example, a medical certificate accompaniedby a letter from your Doctor, Surgeon etc. and fill out the Extension Form and getit signed by the course leader. The extension form will be available onBlackboard. If an extension is granted it will be for 5 calendar days initially andmay be extended if reasons are acceptable for another 5 calendar days. Nofurther extensions are permitted. If you cannot submit within this period you willhave to apply for mitigation. If you do not get an extension but submit late thenyour mark is capped at a maximum of 40%, if up to 5 days late, and zero ifbetween 5 and 10 days late. Outside the 10 day period no mark is given and youPage 10 of 13
have failed that assessment.It may be that you have attempted an assessment – an exam, for example, but onthe run up to this there were a number of factors which you believed hindered yourperformance i.e. close family bereavement. This may count as a mitigatingcircumstance a n d you may t h e n be allowed to resubmit the assessment orin the case of an examination resit the exam at the next available date. Onceagain this is only granted in exceptional cases and requires evidence insupport to be submitted before the assessment/exam, if the information isavailable or within 10 working days of any assessment.You should be aware, however, that when employers request academicreferences this information will include student progress i.e. instances o fmitigation and/or extensions.End note:We hope this guide has been useful.
