3. Finally, a set of introductory questions for Module 1 will be listed in the Discussion Board in Blackboard. These questions are based upon the assigned readings listed above and are designed to ensure that you have an accurate understanding of the key points in the readings. Your goal should be to accurately state the relevant points of law as concisely as possible.
Each student will be assigned a question set; while you are encouraged to think about how you would answer all of the introductory questions for the Module, you will only be required to submit answers for your assigned question set.
Individual assignments for question sets will be distributed by the beginning of the course. Students will be responsible for posting the answers to the question they have been assigned no later than Monday night of the first week of class.
