Main goals: This week read the Nielson (the highlighted parts as described in the syllabus - skimming the methods section) and Malverde readings and then view lecture and complete your discussion assignment.

In addition there are some important things I'd like you to take a look at.

(1) First, our first team teaching group will be teaching the week after spring break and the other team teaching groups will follow right after. That is approaching fast, so it's important that you are getting prepared now. (This is especially important for the groups that will be teaching right after break, since members of your group may be unavailable over that week, plan ahead!)

In preparation, make sure you view that page on Team Teaching Resources. There I provide you with resources about how to post materials, make video lectures, etc.

Your group pages are already available on CANVAS. You can edit them at any time and I won't check them until they are due, the Sunday of the week you teach.

(2) Next, take a look at the page I created that covers the basic details of Exam 1 (i.e. when will the exam be available? what is the format? what should I expect?). I have tried to answer all those questions there.

If there is anything I am missing regarding the details of the exam, or any lingering questions you have on material from the course (what exactly is legal consciousness? how do I apply the concept of rational-legal authority?), I have also created a discussion board where you can post any and all questions to me. That way we can all benefit from each others questions. I will look at the board frequently and respond to each of your questions (others feel free to do the same!)

(3) Next, take the completely confidential mid-semester evaluation. It is structured like an anonymous quiz so NO identifying info will be attached and I will not be able to link any student's with their responses. Please use the opportunity to let me know your honest thoughts about how the course is going, and what I can do better. Please write in free form anything you feel would help you better understand course material or excel in this course. I promise that I take your comments very seriously and always work to adjust my own teaching to respond to your comments. You will receive 3 participation points for completing the anonymous quiz. The quiz is included in this week's module or link to it here.
