Tips on Reading and Note Taking
Your goal in reading the assigned materials is to understand the main points each article/author is
trying to make and the relevant legal/ethical/political issues etc. involved. You should learn to
skim through the readings and make notes on those issues that are the most relevant. One way of
doing this is to use the discussion questions as a guide to reading and note taking. You should
also attempt to review and summarize the main issues that characterize the readings as a whole.
Make notes of any questions or observations that you may wish to discuss in class. Organize
your notes so that you can find relevant materials quickly during class discussions.

Getting Started at the University of Waterloo Library
The library’s resources are accessible from any computer on campus or by using the “Connect
from Home” option available on the left side of the library homepage. You can do a search for
books and journal articles regarding your research topic directly from the library’s homepage.
Alternatively, you can access databases that specifically address the law and legal issues by
selecting “Research Databases” and scrolling down to “Law” (located under “Social and
behavioural science”). Lexis Nexis, for example is an excellent resource for Canadian case law
and legal journals.
Journals
A scholarly journal is an academic resource published on a continuing basis, such as weekly or
monthly. Journal articles will always have a title, the name of the journal, page numbers,
volume number, and author(s). Journals typically focus on a specific area of interest and
feature articles containing information on recent studies and research. Below is a list of
journals available for online research.
6
When searching for a topic, look for journals that are available online or that may be
downloaded, as certain journals may be accessible only through subscription. To get a sense of
a particular journal article’s content, you can read the article’s abstract. An abstract is a brief
summary detailing the information found within the body of the article. In addition, databases
containing articles from numerous journals can be accessed through university or community
libraries.
This is just a sample of permitted resources. The student may use any legitimate academic
journals but it is the responsibility of the student to ensure that this is an academic source.
Please note that you will need to be on campus or “Connect from Home” to have access
to some of the following.

A NOTE ON THE AVOIDANCE OF ACADEMIC OFFENCES
Academic Integrity:
28
Academic Integrity: In order to maintain a culture of academic integrity, members of the University of
Waterloo are expected to promote honesty, trust, fairness, respect and responsibility.
Discipline: A student is expected to know what constitutes academic integrity, to avoid committing
academic offences, and to take responsibility for his/her actions. A student who is unsure whether an
action constitutes an offence, or who needs help in learning how to avoid offences (e.g., plagiarism,
cheating) or about “rules” for group work/collaboration should seek guidance from the course
professor, academic advisor, or the Undergraduate Associate Dean. When misconduct has been found
to have occurred, disciplinary penalties will be imposed under Policy 71 – Student Discipline. For
information on categories of offenses and types of penalties, students should refer to Policy 71 - Student
Discipline.
Grievance: A student who believes that a decision affecting some aspect of his/her university life has
been unfair or unreasonable may have grounds for initiating a grievance. Read Policy 70 - Student
Petitions and Grievances, Section 4.
Appeals: A student may appeal the finding and/or penalty in a decision made under Policy 70 - Student
Petitions and Grievances (other than regarding a petition) or Policy 71 - Student Discipline if a ground for
an appeal can be established. Read Policy 72 - Student Appeals.
Other sources of information for students:
Academic Integrity website (Arts) Academic Integrity Office (uWaterloo)
Accommodation for Students with Disabilities:
Note for students with disabilities: The AccessAbility Services office, located in Needles Hall Room
1132, collaborates with all academic departments to arrange appropriate accommodations for students
with disabilities without compromising the academic integrity of the curriculum. If you require academic
accommodations to lessen the impact of your disability, please register with the AS office at the
beginning of each academic term.
UW POLICY REGARDING ILLNESS AND MISSED TESTS
The University of Waterloo Examination Regulations
(www.registrar.uwaterloo.ca/exams/ExamRegs.pdf) state that:

A medical certificate presented in support of an official petition for relief from normal
academic requirements must provide all of the information requested on the “University of
Waterloo Verification of Illness” form or it will not be accepted. This form can be obtained
from Health Services or at
www.healthservices.uwaterloo.ca/Health_Services/verification.html.

If a student has a test/examination deferred with medical evidence, he/she normally will write
the test/examination at a mutually convenient time, to be determined by the course instructor.
 If a student misses an exam you must contact the instructor within 8 hours of the exam to
let me know that you have an acceptable medical reason for missing the test, or you will
not be able to re-write.
 If a re-write is scheduled and you do not attend, you will not be given another chance.
 A student must also advise the instructor if they wish to hand in an assignment late.
Penalties will be given to the assignment at a rate of 5% per business day.
 Please advise if you intent to hand in an assignment late.
29

The University acknowledges that, because of the pluralistic nature of the University
community, some students may on religious grounds require alternative times to write tests
and examinations.

Elective arrangements (such as travel plans) are not considered acceptable grounds for
granting an alternative examination time.
