Day 62 - Thursday December 9. 2010

D - Geography 12 - We'll spend the class finishing our review of the National Geographic Inside Hurricane Katrina DVD that we started yesterday. I hope that through my stories and the actual footage of the catastrophe you can start to understand the human component to natural disasters. Through this maybe you'll get an inkling as to why I say that this is the most important class you'll ever take in your life. Consider the Political, Environmental, Economic, Physical, and Social effects of the hurricane on not just the Gulf Coast, but the entire United States as a result. Please remember this when you begin looking at your severe weather activity that you begin tomorrow.

C - Law 12 - Today I'll go through civil trial procedures with you and give you some notes on summons or statements of claim and the options available when a lawsuit is claimed against you (statement of defence, counterclaims, third party claims, or default judgements). Next I'll explain the benefits of an out of court settlement and identify why negotiating an agreement is better than going to court. For the remainder of the class you'll have an opportunity to work together on your major case study project that is due on Thursday January 27. 2011.

A - Introduction to Law 9/10 - Today we will continue our look at crime scene investigation and you'll have time to work on your assignment in class. Don't forget that Monday you'll be in the library to work on the crime scene assignment, Tuesday you'll have a quiz on crime scene investigation procedures and that your Serial Killer profiling analysis was due yesterday. If you are interested in playing crime scene investigation on line go to: Rice University's CSI: The Experience Web Adventure.
