Document Summary
30% - reflective assignment (on a hypothetical situation) 60% - 2 hour open book" exam (you can take anything in!) Slides used for structure vs content, so don"t rely on them as substitutes for not attending lectures. Do the assigned reading before lectures and tutes. First get the structure of the law, then fill in the details. Keep the purpose of this subject in mind - you are not being trained to become a media lawyer, you are being taught to think analytically and critically about law. This course does not cover every aspect of freedom of speech and media law, only selected topics. Overriding theme in course: the interplay bet the theories for the protection of speech and the justification for restraints on speech. W3 - theories and rationales for freedom of speech. Low costs encouraging certain forms of behaviour. High costs deterring certain forms of behaviour.
