Student is absent or will be absent they are required to submit an essay on each chapter
that was missed, to demonstrate knowledge of the material missed.
View the Real Estate System 1000 videotapes and the Modern Real Estate Practice
videotapes, (the tapes are numbered 1-19), listen to the Modern Real Estate
Practice Key Point Review audiotapes corresponding to the appropriate chapters.
The video- and audiotapes are available at the Library. You may not check them
out, and there is a 2-hour time limit per video. Take notes on the videotapes, and
turn the notes in at the meeting. The Real Estate System 1000 videotapes will tell
you to look at a certain page in your text and answer questions or fill in the blanks.
You may disregard these references. These videos do not match this textbook. A
list of the videotapes and their viewing time is attached.
