The Carrot and Stick Approach: Promoting Student Learning Engagement through Assessment
Western Australian Law Teachers’ Review, Vol.3, pp.118-127
2025
Abstract
The following scene is probably all too familiar for law teachers: You are sitting at your desk surrounded by numerous exam scripts. To your right, a small pile of marked scripts; to your left, a daunting pile of unmarked ones (scattered in between are several empty coffee cups and various chocolate bar wrappers). With a sigh of exasperation, you throw your pen down, frustrated by how often you have written the same advice on your students’ scripts. And it’s too late to tell them that if they had actively engaged in the unit and its learning activities, they could have gained a better understanding of the law, and the skills needed to study and practice it (thereby minimising exam answer ‘mistakes’, which would have been immensely beneficial when it came time to produce sound exam answers)!
