AJ001 Court Simulation- (Usually the second month of class) No Simulation during the COVID-19 global pandemic. Students "must" take part in the class court simulation. This simulation is designed to have "ALL" students in class participate. Failing to participate in this simulation will result in a full grade reduction for this course. Students who start and not finish the presentation, or get up and walk out of class during any part of the simulation, will also receive a full grade reduction for this course. No Simulation during the COVID-19 global pandemic.
Remember, showing for class break out groups and participating in any preparation for your group is graded. So, you must show for all of your group work to understand the content. Students have clever excuses and different ways to miss class. This is simple, not attending the Court Simulation, will result in a full grade reduction.
