BALTIMORE (PRWEB) July 01, 2023 -- You can also schedule a Zoom meeting if you think my office is too messy. Use the following office hours link:
https://ubalt.zoom.us/j/92540688060
Meeting ID: 925 4068 8060
Course Materials:
(1) Leonard, Gold, & Williams, Evidence: A Structured Approach, 5th ed. (Aspen)
(2) Assigned cases and supplemental readings posted on Sakai
Note: This class and syllabus are designed around the 5th edition of the text book. There have been a few notable changes in the Federal Rules of Evidence in recent years and the 5th edition was significantly edited as well (a number of the cases were eliminated or reduced). In past years. I have made an effort to help students use older (and cheaper) editions, but that may prove a bit more difficult this year. That said, I have requested an additional copy to have on reserve and you are welcome to compare the older editions. The majority of the questions we do in class will be the same… but not all of them. That said, books are expensive and money is, well, nice to have.

In addition to the required text, you may wish to consult some other works on evidence. Below are some recommendations.

Zoom Expectations:
You should familiarize yourself with Zoom and its functions before the beginning of the semester in case we need to switch over to a virtual class.
To be marked in attendance, you must use your ubalt.edu email address when you sign in through Zoom. Please enter class with your microphone muted. If you have a pet or a child, please encourage them to make an appearance. Obviously, this does not include snakes. Snakes are freaky. During class, the presumption is that your camera/video will be on. If you have a special circumstance that makes it inappropriate or uncomfortable to use video, please reach out to me offline.
Please do not share the password for the class with non-class members. Especially Professor Hubbard.
There inevitably will be technical problems that disrupt class. If you are knocked out of class because you lose your signal, please attempt to log back in. If I am knocked out or have a slow connection, I may be forced to end the meeting and restart it- PLEASE SIGN BACK IN AND CONTINUE THE CLASS. If things go completely off the rails- check your email for an update from me. On occasion, I may be forced to simply record the class offline and upload it to Panopto for you to watch on your own. If this occurs, I will schedule a time for us to meet and answer questions.
Hand raising: I WANT you to ask questions. When (not if) you have a question, please raise your hand using the “hand raise button.” Try to remember to put your hand down after you have been called on. If I don’t see your raised “hand” right away, please feel free to interrupt me. I respond to “excuse me,” “yo,” and “wazzup.”
Backgrounds: If you choose to use the virtual background feature, please pick one that is respectful of your fellow classmates, not too distracting, and, if possible, funny. Do not be surprised if I attempt to guess what it is. I will undoubtedly be wrong.
The Chat Window: I have heard that the chat window can be distracting during class. Therefore, please use chat solely to communicate with me if you need to tell me something and the hand raising function is not appropriate or helpful.
We will be figuring this technology and this means of learning together. Please be kind to your fellow classmates (and your professor) as we will all likely make mistakes and we will surely have to make adjustments as we go.
