Evidence - Professor Cordray

First Assignment

The syllabus and the assignments for the first week will be posted in the Syllabus section on TWEN in early January.  This class will be taught in a hybrid format with much of the critically important material being delivered asynchronously (primarily through short videos which are embedded with quiz questions and hypotheticals).  The first assignment, for example, will include a reading assignment and watching three videos in advance of class.  You will need to pause to take notes as you go, so plan to spend at least double the time of each video.  The PowerPoints and hypo sheets for the videos and the class session will be posted in advance on TWEN.

Textbook

LEARNING EVIDENCE, FIFTH EDITION, by Deborah Jones Merritt and Ric Simmons, ISBN 978-1-68467-578-4 (5th ed.).  You will not need a rules supplement. 

NOTE: If you prefer, you may rent or purchase the FOURTH edition (ISBN 978-1634606462).  The fourth edition was published just a few years ago, it is very similar to the fifth edition, and it may help you minimize your costs.  My assignments will include page numbers for both the fourth edition and the fifth edition.
