Course Website PDF Print E-mail

We will be using a portion of iankerr.ca as a means of asynchronous communication. This virtual space will allow everyone to stay in touch outside of the classroom. Specifically, we will use the site to:

  1.  disseminate course materials (eg, handouts, powerpoint slides, tutorial information and supplementary exercises);
  2. ask questions, post messages or share news items with each other (eg, continued classroom discussion, reflections on life and law school, announcements, relevant current events);
  3. share podcasts of class lectures, files and photos.
The instructors will be using this space as the main portal for dissemination outside the classroom. All students are required to register with the site at the start of the year.

supplementary tutorials PDF Print E-mail

For students wishing to fortify their understanding of the law of contract through alternative learning methods and by way of practical application, a supplementary tutorial will be offered. Among other things, the tutorial will offer a number of feedback mechanisms and self-assessment techniques on an ongoing basis. Attendance and participation in the supplementary tutorial is optional. The tutorial is offered by the course instructors and is separate and distinct from the services offered by Student Services’ “Academic Success Program”.
