School Law Powerpoint

Note that this is a lot of material, so make flash cards or whatever you need to do to keep track. I envision at least three quizzes over this material, beginning Wednesday and Thursday: One quiz on general legal concepts, one quiz on the court cases dealing with teachers, and one over the cases dealing with students.

1. You will email your paper to my Winthrop email address (popen@winthrop.edu).
2. Your paper MUST be an attachment to the email. This attachment MUST be some version of Microsoft Word, Rich Text or PDF formats. You CANNOT put the body of your paper in the body of the email. It MUST be an attachment.
3. You should save your paper with YOUR NAME in the name of the document. Example: Nakia_Pope_Paper.doc
4. Your email should have a body, however, in which you at least identify yourself and your section number (I cannot tell who is who just by email addresses). This is essential for me so I can keep track of papers. The body of the email can be something as simple as "Dr. Pope, This is Jane Smith from Section 4. Here is my paper."
5. Your email should arrive in my inbox NO LATER THAN 5:00 PM on SUNDAY THE 30TH. Any paper received after 5:00 will be considered late.
6. You may turn in your paper early -- anytime, really, from now until Sunday at 5:00. This is the option you should use if you have obligations Sunday that will prevent you from turning in your paper that day.

What will I do with all these emailed papers? Well, I will read them in the order I receive them. I will make comments orally, recording them on my computer. I will then email these comments back to you as an mp3 file which can be played on any computer with some form of audio player (and every computer has some form of player -- iTunes, Quicktime, Windows Media Player, etc). Those comments will contain feedback on your paper and your grade.

Given that it is advising and I plan to return your papers in the order they are received, it may take a couple of weeks to get them all back. Don't worry if it seems to be taking awhile; that just means you turned in your paper closer to 5:00 than others.

March 24th & 25th -- Exam review
March 26th & 27th -- Exam #2
March 31st & April 1st -- Read Pages 259-272
April 2nd & 3rd -- Read Pages 272-283 (also pay close attention to the "Frame of Reference" on pages 284-285 that discusses the critical Supreme Court Cases)

Don't forget your paper due March 30th.

School Choice

Tuesday, 3/11 -- We will finish up our ethics discussion from last week.
Wednesday, 3/12 -- Read pages 322-337.
Thursday, 3/13 -- Read pages 322-337.

We should probably have a quiz this week, so look for one Wednesday and/or Thursday. Also remember that the drop date is Wednesday the 12th, so if you are thinking about dropping, make sure you talk to me before then.

Then we have spring break. When we come back:

Monday, 3/24 -- Exam Review
Tuesday, 3/25 -- Exam Review
Wednesday, 3/26 -- Exam 2
Thursday, 3/27 -- Exam 2

Note: I will be out of town for a conference on the 26th and 27th, so my graduate assistant will proctor the exam.
