Session IV Posted

IEL, Coming from Yahoo groups

If you are reading this then you would have succeeded finding where to post your weekly essays.  I am assuming that most of you are familiar with blogs.  If not then I suggest that you go to wikipedia or ask one of your classmates.

Read everything that I post on this page.  In case you get lost, the instructions are always at the category “general”.  You could also go to the page “About”.  Look at the sidebar to see what you should “click”.

To post your essay, go to the page corresponding to the session where your essay will be discussed.  Then simply post a reply.  You may have to copy and paste from your wordprocessors.  Also, when prompted for your name, use your real name.  When prompted to give your email, use your real email.  Stay real.

Rules for Weekly Essays

Essay Requirement for International Economic Law

All students enrolled must compose a one to two page critical essay on any or all of the assignments for each scheduled weekly session.

A critical essay assumes that the readers have already read the same articles.  Students therefore should avoid summarizing or paraphrasing the contents of the material being commented upon.  Instead, the essays should articulate well through out reflections on any ideas contained in the assigned readings.

The essay must be submitted electronically on or before 12:00 noon of every Monday.  This must be posted as a reply or comment to the corresponding page created for that session at leonen2007.wordpress.com.

A hard copy of the essay should be physically filed with the College Secretary’s office on or before 8:30 am of Tuesday.

Students should keep electronic copies of all their submissions including relevant evidence to show that they have submitted on time.
