The lectures parallel the text, so lecture notes are not very valuable compared to reading the book. The class will be taught by lectures with some questions posed to students. Students should read the assigned materials before coming to class so as to be prepared to answer questions in class. Students may use books or notes during the examinations, but anyone who must consult these materials extensively during the exam is in trouble. Grades will fit the curve for A s, B s, and C s recommended for large classes by the Legal Studies program.
Students can use the book and notes during exams.
Exams should be written in blue books. The midterm will be held on approximately the 15th class meeting. I ll make a definite announcement in class well in advance.
