1 UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA School of Business Department of Marketing, Business Economics and Law BLAW BUSINESS LAW, SECTION B3 Professor: Ivan Ivankovich Course Outline Class: TR 9:30-10:50 Term 2, Winter Term 2004 Location: TB 87 Office: 3-21E Business Building Telephone: ivan.ivankovich@gpu.srv.ualberta.ca Website: Policy about course outlines can be found in Section 23.4(2) of the University Calendar (GFC 29 September 2003). This course is designed to give an introduction to, and an overview of, three major areas of law generally encountered in business and commercial law -- Introduction to the Canadian Legal System, Contract and Tort. Law as an academic subject places somewhat different demands on a student than would be encountered in many other university courses. It requires that the student be able to communicate clearly and effectively even when dealing with fact situations in which there is not always a clear right or wrong answer. Grading You will be graded in this course exclusively by means of your relative performance on two closed book examinations. Your ability to understand factual situations, solve problems and express reasoning in concise written arguments will be of primary importance in grading. The first examination will be given on Thursday, February 12, 2004 and will be worth 40% of the final grade. The final examination will be given on Thursday, April 15th, 2004 at 9:00 a.m., and will be worth 60%. You are expected to write the examinations at the assigned times and no request for alternative arrangements will be entertained. It is my desire to be readily accessible to students. If you are having difficulty with any part of the course, please come and see me. My office is located at 3-21E Business Building.
2 The University of Alberta is committed to the highest standards of academic integrity and honesty. Students are expected to be familiar with these standards regarding academic honesty and to uphold the policies of the University in this respect. Students are particularly urged to familiarize themselves with the provisions of the Code of Student Behaviour (online at any behaviour which could potentially result in suspicions of cheating, plagiarism, misrepresentation of facts and/or participation in an offence. Academic dishonesty is a serious offence and can result in suspension or expulsion from the University. (GFC 29 SEP 2003) Textbook 1.
