Mandatory
E-mail Policy
I will use e-mail to
communicate course-related announcements. You
must provide me with an e-mail address and monitor
messages sent to that address. Please send a
blank e-mail message to peteryu@law.msu.edu with
“International IP Law Class” as the subject line.
If I do not receive an e-mail from you by January
22, I assume you have already dropped the course.
Attendance Policy
You are required to attend
all classes. I reserve the right to take
attendance, although absences are obvious in a seminar
like this one. Pursuant to Academic Policies and
Procedures, any student who has missed more than 15%
of class meetings will not be eligible for completing the final paper. You must keep track of your
own absences and will be informed if you have missed
more than 15% of the class meetings. You will be
excused for medical emergencies, recognized religious
holidays, or death in the immediate family only if
you inform me of the reasons for your absence.
Grading
Policy
There will be no final examination.
Your final grade will be computed based on the
following factors:

I reserve the right to award extra credit for
excellent participation in class and to reduce your
course grade for lack of preparation for the class or
for habitual tardiness (i.e., arriving late for
class). Extra credit (or penalty) will only be
added (or deducted) after the final grade has been
computed. Under no circumstances will
participation improve or reduce the final grade by
more than 2/3 of your grade (e.g., from B- to B+).
