As you might imagine with multiple distance learning sections I receive a lot of email.  I try and respond to your inquiries as quickly as possible.  In order to help me do that, I am requesting that you do not email me to thank me for my responses.  I will assume that if you do not ask me for more help that you are satisfied with my answer and will take no further email from you as a "thank-you".  This will save me time from opening emails that do not require a response.  Thanks for your understanding.

This semester is the first time that Business Law will have a presence on Blackboard/WebCT and since this is a new system there will likely be a number of kinks to work out.  I will do my best to keep things updated, but I need to be clear about one thing:  THE INFORMATION ON THIS WEBSITE IS SUBJECT TO CHANGES I ANNOUNCE IN CLASS AND THE FAILURE TO KEEP UP WITH ANY CHANGES ANNOUNCED IN CLASS IS THE STUDENT'S RESPONSIBILITY.  It will not be an excuse that the information was not correct on the website.  Please feel free to tell me if you see any errors.
