Sitting on the Same Bench: Complementing Law Learning Outcomes
(2011) 5(2) Journal of Academic Language & Learning A50-A59.
On request from the Law Faculty, the Law Library team teach into a compulsory first-year unit which aims to improve students’ research and writing skills. The learning skills adviser and the librarians planned, prepared and delivered classes jointly; starting with analysing the question, establishing a framework for the research, and ending with drafting the legal advice that utilises the research.
Moreover the recent educational drive to extend curricula and develop graduate attribute statements has consolidated the methodological foundation of the educational programs. In response to the 2011 curriculum review carried out by the Monash Law Faculty, the Law Library team drew on the draft Threshold Learning Outcomes for Law (Australian Learning and Teaching Council, 2010) combining these with the Research Skill Development Framework (Willison and O’Regan, 2006) to map the classes currently offered and suggest further directions.
