Papers and Presentations
Your presentations and papers constitute a significant portion of your final gradethey are important. Given this, here are some guidelines and some of my expectations.
-
Students shall have meet with me to discuss their projects prior to both presenting on them and submitting their final paper.
-
The paper is not simply a summary or written or formal version of the presentation: you will not receive two grades for exactly the same work.
-
Rather, the presentation is a sort of overview of the topic you have chosen meant to give the rest of us a glimpse at and some idea about the subject area you have decided to develop/work on. For example, (this was from last year and in Juri 3626 but the same could be said of any topic, like frustration as a reason to terminate the employment contract) today we discussed the issue of good faith bargaining. We said that while we have a broad outline of what constitutes this, the specifics (the details) of what this means will be located in the case law (Labour Board Decisions). Thus, a nice project would be some investigation of this issue: what is the duty to bargain in good faith and how has this been applied and developed at the Labour Board or courts
-
Any one doing this project would, during their presentation, give us a broad over view of the topic but going beyond merely the text (we have the text and we can or have read that!!). The presenters job is to show that they have done some work on the topic and can speak about it intelligently (or at least demonstrate a more than passing knowledgemore than form simply reading the text)and have explored the issue in greater depth than others in the class.
-
The paper is to be a formal written DEVELOPMENT of the preliminary findings that you presented to the class. Here you explore the topic in greater detail by examining, analyzing, and incorporating other sources, case law, and theory into your preliminary work as revealed in your presentation.
-
Thus, while there is an expectation that you will have something to say of intelligence about the topic, this is early going and so you are demonstrating to the rest of us what you have learned, where your research is taking you, and where you may end up, maybe even a thesis should that be appropriate to the project you decide to do.
-
One way to begin is to have a look at some the exercises provided in the text. Here Doorey exposes you to the note up exercises. Do a couple of these. Review the text. Perhaps in this way you can find a topic that interests you. Indeed your paper/presentation could be an extended version of one of these noting up exercisesyou would review more cases perhaps, or look at secondary sources that discuss the issues.
-
We will have all of the issues that arise out of the Weber case that may provide fertile ground for paper topics. That material will be posted to D2L soon, but you can look ahead in Doorey. (Note: this issue is specifically for 3626).
-
Dooreys Note Up exercises are the tip of the ice burg: you can do the same basic thing with any number of issues or topics that might interest you. These exercises are a place to start.
-
Presentations should be NO MORE THAN 10 minutes in length (or less).
-
Papers should be around 10 double spaced pages in 12 point font.
-
We will adopt the The Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal CitationThe McGill Guide or Chicago Style Manual
