Mentor’s comment-

  • In the introduction briefly write what the case study is all about.
  • In the body explain the legal as well as ethical issues involved in the case study.. The legal aspect will be determined by the level of involvement of Mrs Sandy Tyson- how she managed to influence the award. The ethical aspect involved is that of the conflict of interest and also misuse of the office. Be considerate to all the the key facts of the case and form an opinion accordingly.
  •  Conclude with a fair and a balanced approach.

      Hi Deepika
      The case study deals with the situation of one doing their job with probity .
      Stakeholders involved are well explained.
      In the ethical issues, also write lack of transparency and accountability in the process of giving fellowship.
      Course of action is good.
      You can also setup an independent committee to look into the matter.
      Good concluding remarks.
      Overall a decent attempt.
      Persistence is the key to success, keep writing !

      Hi Taran
      Briefly explain the case study, basically the case study deals with the situation of one doing their job with probity .
      Write the stakeholders involved, the stake holders are Sandy, Mike, Jurist and the University .
      Follow a proper structure to get better marks.
      Write the ethical issues involved in the case.
      Then write the course of action.
      You can write that being a jurist it is your duty to find out the truth and uphold justice. So there is need to order for proper enquiry, you can set up an independent committee to look into the matter. You have to ensure the transparency and accountability in the process of giving fellowship.
      Good conclusion.
      Avoid spelling and grammatical errors.
      Work on content, diversify it.
      Work hard, you will succeed.

      Follow the proper structure to get better marks.
      Ethical issues are well explained.
      Give small headings.
      Course of action is well explained.
      Fair approach would be that if in the enquiry it is found out that Mrs. Tyson is guilty of misusing her position in the university to get her husband the fellowship then Mr.Tyson’s fellowship need to be cancelled and Mrs.Sandy need to be punished for the action she did.
      Good conclusion.
      Avoid using unnecessary capital alphabets in between of a sentence.
      Keep writing !

      Course of action is well explained but need to work on presentation to get better marks.
      Use ethics term in this question like transparency, accountability, probity etc.
