It\'s come to the attention of the undersigned that the Deakin Faculty of Law is considering discontinuing the Revision Weekends for off-campus students.
We have found the revision weekends to be absolutely essential to success in our studies: they help fix the knowledge in our heads, give us a chance to interact with other students and especially teachers, and generally provide support, encouragement, and peace of mind.
The news that the revision weekends might be discontinued is very bad news for all of us, and this is a plea to continue them. Consider that these weekends are, for the undersigned, the only time they ever get to have the kind of stimulating discussion that only a real-life environment can provide. Consider how concerned we are to get the best possible marks, so as to have a good job on the other side of uni. Consider the difficulty many of us have in getting to these weekends, what with family commitments and being tired from a week\'s work--and how we still come.
We would thus like to respectfully submit that it is in our best interests for the revision weekends to continue, and in our worst interests for them to stop. Please--do not stop them!
Thank you,
The Undersigned
The momentum behind this petition highlights just how vital these sessions are for our academic success. This groundswell of support confirms that our collective need for in-person learning remains a priority for the faculty to address.

Please dont stop these. Working full time and keeping up with law is impossible without these sessions. They are the only way I actually learn the material.

Keep them running. We already pay enough for tuition without losing the few benefits we actually use.

These weekends were the only way I passed last semester. Being off campus is so isolating and this is the only face to face time we get.

WHAT. This is literally why I chose this uni for my degree. Do not take this away from us.

Bad idea. Studying law online is way too hard to do alone.
