Advanced Constitutional Law – Spring 2013

We announced with the registration material that Prof. Huhn’s Seminar in Advanced Constitutional Law might be offered entirely online. We have now been able to test the online technology to determine whether we can achieve the degree of interaction necessary for this type of course. Prof. Huhn is confident that the technology will work very well. Accordingly, we will be offering the course exclusively online. The time will remain the same as in the registration schedule. Students will participate through their computers. Students will need a strong internet connection, a web camera showing the student, and a headset. We will provide additional information well in advance of the Spring semester.  The course has limited enrollment, but there are still some spaces available.

Possible offering of Patent Prosecution

Several students have asked whether we can offer Patent Prosecution in Spring 2013.  We can offer it if there would be sufficient student interest.  Please advise Misty Franklin, misty@uakron.edu, by Friday, November 30, if you would like to take Patent Prosecution.  We will then check student schedules and determine when we might be able to offer the course.  Note that we might need to offer the course on Saturdays.  If you are interested in the course, please state whether you would take it on a Saturday.
