Students who choose not to do them are marked down accordingly by me if I am grading their work (generally by half-a-grade). I want to see evidence of planning. You have been warned. In a timed examination, if the question is worth 18 marks - spend 3-4 minutes planning an answer briefly on a separate piece of paper before writing up.

Citizenship students, James Price, Ayesha Patel, Samantha Barlow, Alex Robinson, Chloe Stevens, Emma-Jane Hayes, and Alicia Wallis, are dressing up in Disney fancy dress to raise funds for Great Ormand Street Children's Hospital. The event takes place on Friday 11th December and they ask for your support and sponsorship. Please note that fancy dress costumes are not welcome in my class. As an alternative/complimentary approach, we can have a sponsored essay writing class (see attached sponsorship form).

![]() The EPQ Deadline is Valentine's Day the 14th February 2010. Students MUST complete their Extended Project by that date, giving your EPQ Supervisor until noon on the 15th March 2009 September to assess/grade, and have moderated, your Extended Project and EPQ Log. If you (or your Supervisor) fail to submit your completed project to me by that noon deadline, you will fail the EPQ. There are NO extensions of time. The deadline for entries to AQA is the 21st March 2010. The EPQ Log is extremely important when it comes to the assessment of your extended project. The more depth and analysis within your EPQ Log the better. In particular, you need to deal with the 'reflection page' by explaining the aims and objectives of your project and then evaluating how things worked out. Thursday, November 19

This is Vital. If you haven't started revising already then you are weeks behind! Luckily I have drawn up a revision checklist in order to help you prepare for the exam. Print it out- and get a cover for it. It is the most important peice of paper you will have this year. We will use it to record our revision and it will show us the questions that might come up in the exam. Stop reading this and start printing it now! Why are you still reading? Print it.

I have marked essays in which students gave 100 words and 103 words in a sentence. Plain English editors, like Whitesmoke, mark out such sentences as showing a poor writing style. The modern trend is to average around 14 words per sentence. Some authors give much less. Proof read your work please. Thursday, November 5

Should I charge for use of this LawsBlog? With over 200,000 visits a year, it has been suggested that I should charge a fee for use of this blog. Basically, the suggestion is to charge visitors an annual subscription of say £10 (that's cheaper than a law book). Currently, I simply invite visitors to donate to the Royal Institute for the Blind. Give your comments on the suggestion that I should charge for using this blog. Friday, October 16

Strode's College Students in the UK Supreme Court. Students from the Department of Laws really shined at the Opening Ceremony of the Supreme Court on Friday 16th October 2009. They demonstrated a clear ability to present a moot and argue points of law before nine Supreme Court judges. Questions flowed from the judges, but the students responded with confidence and charm. The Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, David Cameron, and others complimented them on their success. They spoke with the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Archbishop of Canterbury and even John Roberts the Chief Justice from the US Supreme Court. The number of senior Judges and dignitaries who stopped me to congratulate me on the success of the students is beyond counting. Well done to all of the students involved. You are stars.

I asked Laws students to email me if they felt they had too much homework and wanted to defer the January examination until June. Only one student made the request, so I can confirm that Laws students will be facing examinations in January 2010.

EPQ Supervisors and Moderators were involved in extended project moderation today. We cannot reveal grades. What I can reveal is that a number of students had very good projects, but they missed out on an higher grade because they had an EPQ Log that lacked depth/analysis. more »
