These may be drawn from newspapers, magazines, television, movies or other sources. As mentioned above, I will be taking classroom participation into consideration as part of course grading and will expect you not only to be prepared to be called upon to discuss assigned problems, but also voluntarily to offer your views during other discussions. The final examination will include both multiple choice and essay questions. It will be a limited open book examination. The Rules may be annotated in its margins, but you may not add additional sheets of paper or use any of the blank pages for notes.
Participation is optional.
If you have questions or problems with this, contact me or ask the reference librarians for assistance. There will also be course web page for this course that will contain useful information, announcements, legal resources and assignments. Generally, you will be expected to read the rules and comments to the rules, relevant code provisions and related materials referenced in the text as part of each reading assignment. The assignments below refer only to the most important rule provisions that will be the focal points of the class discussions. These assignments are subject to revision and supplementation as appropriate.
