Evaluation

Students should not memorize texts, since all exams will be open book, but learn to apply legal concepts discussed in class to fact patterns involving technology laws issues. Grading will be on a scale of 0 to 20. A grade of 10 is average, a grade of 20 perfection and a grade of 0 a nullity. Due to the limited session, you will have one open book final exam, which will be a case study.

I do not give extra credit or make-up work. All absences during the exam will result in a zero, unless justified with the Registrar, who will communicate to me directly whether she has accepted to excuse the absence. In such a case, and only with the Registrar’s approbation, will I offer a replacement exam at a time and place agreed upon.
