Use of this Site

Most of the pages on this web site are arranged to guide students through the process of postgraduate research. They are generally available to use in your own time, as you need them.

However, some of them are also designed to be used as course materials.

Prior to each of the coursework seminars you are expected to read particular resource pages and the readings they link to.

Readings refer to items available in full text on the UoW Library's electronic Reserve Collection. To view the list of these readings, go to the Library catalogue and "Search the Reserve Collection" by the subject code "LAW994". You will be able to access the pdf document by entering your University e-mail user name and password.

Modules are self directed guides for students, containing specified tasks which students may work through. Students enrolled in LAW 994 are required to complete these tasks satisfactorily. Other students are encouraged to use the modules and may find it beneficial to work through the tasks. They, too, include on-line readings and links to other on-line resources.

The modules are in the 'Process' or the 'Research' branch of this site, depending on their subject matter. View the list.

Resources are preliminary discussions of important issues in interdisciplinary law-related research. Students are expected to think about each of these in the course of developing research proposals, carrying out their research, and writing their theses.

They are 'preliminary' because you will need to develop these ideas as they relate to your own research through reading and discussion at seminars. The resources include references and on-line readings. Once in on-line readings you must type in LAW 994. To make the most of these resources you are expected to read these materials and then come to the relevant seminar.

The layout of the resource materials on this site is explained on the welcome page.
