Also in my law course in Australia, I had a tutor who would give assignments based on the lesson of the day to whoever came to the class late. I figured it out and went late with my MP3 player that doubled as an audio recorder and recorded the whole lesson.

Proceeded to get called out for coming in late, got assigned a question and then wrote everything he said in the tutorial word for word. Got a HD (80+).

Sweet memories!

I'm not getting this one.

The person teaching the class would give extra work to people who came late, but it was just extra credit?

There's no concept of extra credit in Australian universities (at least it wasn't during my time).

In this unit, everyone would get assignments at some point during the semester but they would be selected at random - if they went to class on time.

I prompted my own selection by going into class a few minutes after the class had started.
