- collect mid-semester feedback (example Continue/Stop/Start form below) and then instructor responds to feedback during class time in a dialogue to explore possible changes to course.

Assignment Description
- Annotated References for Franchise agreement; &
- Annotated references for the agreement you chose to study in your 20% paper.
( See postings in resources for 20% paper and in discussion board )
You know from our 1st week of class that one good source of information is:
Essex Law Association Library LOCATION: 245 Windsor Avenue, Windsor, Ontario Ground floor of the Essex County Superior Courthouse HOURS Monday to Friday 9:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M.
You learned an early class that another source is UWindsor’s library at the law school = Paul Martin Law Library which offers many resources available to all campus users.
They also offer reference assistance to students to help navigate legal research; & can also help with citation.
Your first TASK for this assignment is to prepare a list of References regarding Franchise Agreement, identify source of info, location and rank in order of importance or helpfulness and provide short reasons. The materials identified by you for this assignment will help you complete a future assignment; after which you will make an individual presentation in class. For example, I know for certain that both libraries have materials containing an annotated franchise agreement.
As discussed in class, while you are in the libraries, search for and identify references regarding the type of agreement you chose to study for your 20% paper. Annotated agreements are most helpful because authors provide you with their insights. The 2nd page for this Assignment #8 requires ANNOTATED references for the agreement you chose for study in your end of semester paper. For the 2nd page, also identify source of info, its location and rank in order of importance or helpfulness and provide short reasons.
RUBRIC is weighted to emphasize evidence of research all reasonably available references to investigate alternative points of view. Information is taken from sources with evidence of outstanding effort to interpret and evaluate relevance and applicability.
