STUDENTS REQUIRING ACCOMMODATIONS: Students with disabilities requesting accommodations should first register with the Disability Resource Center (352-392-8565, ) by providing appropriate documentation. Request for accommodations should be presented to Dean Rachel Inman. Once registered, students will receive an accommodation letter which must be presented to the instructor when requesting accommodations. Students with disabilities should follow this procedure as early as possible in the semester. GRADING This course is graded satisfactory/unsatisfactory (S, U). In order to receive a satisfactory grade, students must complete and submit each of the seven written assignments and each of their video reviews, and must participate in workshops and video reviews. COURSE EVALUATION Students will be given an opportunity to provide a course evaluation toward the end of the semester. Students are encouraged to participate in these evaluations as summaries of these evaluations are available to students in future semesters. CLASS DEMEANOR AND UNIVERSITY HONESTY POLICY Students are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with all University policies regarding honesty. Additionally, students will be expected to conduct themselves in a professional and appropriate manner. Understanding that students want to take notes, there will not be a prohibition on using computers. However, students should not use these electronic devices for non-class related purposes. We are together for an hour and fifteen minutes a couple of times per week. Let’s use the time to become better trial lawyers. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, text messages, etc. will all be around when the class ends.
