A word on grading. Grading for this course awards 1/3 point each for up to twelve of the sixteen basic case reading question sets. These cover both the cases that you read at the beginning of the quarter, and some of the more complex cases later on. This should give you the flexibility to earn the maximum number of points, without undue stress, if you have a life crisis and miss a deadline.
