Abstract:
For several years I have been using the Old Bailey Online as part of an assessment exercise with my second years with the broad aim of reconstructing a criminal trial from the Old Bailey proceedings. The assessment has two parts, a group ‘presentation’ and an individual written piece; the two halves are weighted equally for assessment purposes so that I can test students’ abilities to present orally and on paper. The assessment takes place at the start of the second (spring) term so that I have had time to introduce a number of the themes of the module which I hope will emerge during the exercise. This exercise has grown and developed over the years, and, while it is far from perfect, has proved to be a popular and challenging one for students. In this talk I will discuss the assessment and how it has evolved, look at some of its strengths and weaknesses and suggest ways in which it could develop in the future
