Students will be introduced to the legal systems involved in contracting. Sources of contract law that influence real estate will be researched. The complex interactions of buyers and sellers, brokers and salespeople, statutory and common law and how the real estate licensee interacts within these legal restrictions with customers and clients will be discussed. The course is intensive in vocabulary, terminology and definitions. Text and outside assignments and handouts encourage reading.
Tests require creative thinking, application of principles and relationships, and problem solving.
Students communicate orally by class discussion, role-playing, and group work. These relationship applications require interpersonal skills, self-management, and personal and group responsibility, working with others, problem solving, and reporting techniques. Regular and punctual attendance is expected of all students, and a complete record of attendance will be kept by each instructor for the entire length of each course. Students will be counted absent from class meetings missed, beginning with the first official day of classes. Students, whether present or absent, are responsible for all material presented or assigned for a course, and will be held accountable for such materials in the determination of course grades.
