Law 1 and 17 due dates are on Mondays, Law 11 and 18 on Tuesdays,

Tutoring Program and "Meet and Confer" - In the
Fall 2005 semester, we piloted a new program - the "tutoring
program" - see program
guidelines of tutors
Please take advantage of contacting them. They were all excellent
students in our program who have recently graduated and who have
encountered all of the same problems you will face with our law
materials. We also "Meet and Confer" HREF="http://profj.us/meet-confer/login/">on the phone, once every
week
our law instructors. This is a chance to ask questions "face
to face", or "ear to ear" - so to speak. The students
who participated in the Fall "Meet and Confer" sessions
found them very useful, helpful and supportive. Try them. I promise
that you will not be disappointed.

in an etudes class by first clicking under "assignments",
and then go to the bottom and click on "my grades".
Also note that grades will be posted by your professor to show
your progress in the class. You can be dropped from the class,
without notice, if you are carrying an "F" in the class.
If you are dropped, you no longer will be able to work under etudes.
However, it is the student's responsibility to drop the class
at the college or district level. It is not the instructor's responsibility.
Some students are dropped from the etudes class, and think that
the instructor has excluded them, and then receive an F on their
transcript. If you are not going to continue in the class, do
not leave it to the instructor to exclude you. Go to the student
information system
to protect yourself from not getting an F for failing to complete
the class.
