How To Write For The UWA Pirate Handbook

CategoryUnits

Try to follow the format in the UnitTemplate.

The official UWA handbook is astonishingly comprehensive compared to many universities, so try not to duplicate information. Useful information might include the standard and importance of lectures, the general tenor of the assessments, and anything that tends to surprise people when they start the unit.

CategoryLecturers

There is an overwhelming temptation to be unfairly rude about people in CategoryLecturers pages.

Australia's libel laws are pretty full-on, so try not to get yourself or us sued by being factual OR denoting something as a personal opinion.

For example, let's take a fictional lecturer called Joan Peters.

Bad: Joan Peters is an idiot and all her units suck.

Good: There is a high correlation between units taught by Joan Peters and units that suck. (This is an opinion, not fact (which this is stating) hence this is not Good.)

Best: Some students feel that there is a high correlation between units taught by Joan Peters and units that suck.

Try not to write CategoryLecturers pages around exam periods.
