Course Objectives: Each student will be confident in their ability to understand every aspect of
every legal subject covered in the course. Numerous times throughout the course it will be
necessary to reference and discuss other law course material that directly relates to this course
for the express purpose of providing you with a complete understanding of this most fascinating
subject. You will most definitely (I) understand all the law presented to you, (II) retain it and
(III) be able to apply it in your world today and in your careers.
Teaching Methods: A varied and diverse instructional method will be used to enhance course
material and comprehension by lecture, discussions, examination of cases, completing
challenging and enjoyable class exercises, group problem solving analysis, as well as more
traditional methods. CLASS EXERCISES and GUEST LECTURES: We will conduct in
class - live (of real cases) the following; Ethics Cases Every Class; Mediation; Arbitration; Civil
Rights (employment) discrimination/harassment; Plea Bargaining; Deposition. Guest Lectures
involve ten to twelve minute presentations by an Expert in the following areas of law: Real
Property; Common Law; Formal Law; Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Four (4) Semester Credit Hour Course: Your classroom hours are three per week, and
the fourth hour of every week has an assignment – research each Quiz Topic(s) on the Web
course pages with an attached quiz for each assignment. There are a total of four Quizzes. You
will be given class time to conduct some of your Quiz Material research.
Attendance Policy: In the past, pre-streaming, an absence would deny you the ability to
thoroughly learn the material, and you would obviously experience greater difficulty in learning
the 1,200 legal doctrines covered, especially since ALL exams are personally created and
drafted by me from every lecture, class exercises and the text. You are responsible for the text
materials, lectures, guest lecture series, class exercises, ethics presentations and the notes you
take, all of which are the subject of my exams. You will and can SUCCEED! As your Professor,
I am providing opportunities to each student for their respective achievement of course
objectives, students should be AWARE and cognizant of the value of their experiences, and how
such experiences can offer the class a benefit - each student is valuable and can contribute.
ALL Class Work, Exercises and EXAMS will only be taken on assigned dates, unless
there is a >>bona fide emergency = death, hospitalization, accidents<<
(these reasons ONLY apply to your Immediate Family, you, parents, siblings) documentation is
necessary and must be presented to me in order to have MY permission (NOTICE: EVERY MAKEUP EXAM I APPROVE MUST BE FINISHED BY THE Fifth DAY FROM THE Exam Closing (being the last
day of the exam period) DATE OR YOUR GRADE IS A “0”) to take a make-up exam and the
documents prove why you were prevented from taking the exam.
We all need to work together to accomplish our goals and those set by me for the course, I
am here for you.
GRADES: Five (5) EXAMS EACH WORTH 18% OF YOUR GRADE, Four
quizzes/assignments each are worth 2.5% of your final grade.
COMPUTING FINAL GRADE: Add all exam grades and multiply by .18%; Add all quiz
grades and multiply by 2.5%. Add the two sums and there is your final grade.

SOME VIP INFORMATION FOR YOU!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
1. How often can I have an appointment to discuss the course.
As often as you like, give me two days notice to assure you we can set aside a mutually
agreeable time.
2. Can I review a quiz or exam after I have taken it.
YES, I sincerely believe we have a 1:1 Faculty/Scholar ratio, in spite of having a1,400 scholars
or more to educate each semester.

Give me two days & two times advance notice and identify the exam or quiz (or both)
that you want to review and set an appointment.
 You cannot review more than two items (2 exams; or 2 quizzes; or 1 exam and 1 quiz)
per appointment.
 We will print out what you missed in advance to maximize your time and minimize
wasting anyone’s time.
THERE ARE NO APPOINTMENTS AFTER Nov. 27th, (which means you cannot ask for
an appointment for reviews on this date, best to ask a week earlier) you cannot make one
I will be booked solid and if you did not try to follow my suggestions there is nothing I
will be able to do to get you in my office.
You must have your UCF Id with you, and each appointment takes about 5 to 7 minutes for your
review. In order to maximize your time and minimize any convenience to any of my 1,300
scholars please adhere to this protocol;
3. Should I research each QUIZ topic before the Quiz.
YES, some people think they can open the quiz and skip to Google and back to the quiz, I am
unclear why some people want to risk their work in this manner. Research each Quiz
independently of taking it and do so before the quiz day. Have your research in front of you and
you will succeed.
4. How long is each lecture available for viewing.
I make sure every lecture remains open throughout the entire semester for viewing as often as
you desire. Lectures CANNOT be downloaded.
5. Can I take an exam at a campus other than where I registered for your course.
No! UCF does not permit you to do that. Each student must take their exams at the campus
where they registered. Regional campus scholars must contact their campus in advance of
each exam to set a time to take it. EVERY SCHOLAR SHOULD VISIT THEIR TESTING
CENTER BEFORE AN EXAM TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH EACH TESTING
CENTER’S PROTOCOL.

YOUR GUIDANCE OFFICIAL ABOUT SUCH A MATTER IF NECESSARY.
6. Is there any special way I should e-mail you. E-MAIL PROTOCOL
Yes, always do the following: (you will not receive a reply unless you follow this protocol –
I do over 2,000 e-mails each semester and want to always be able to reply to you)
a. identify yourself by full name and PID and NID;
b. subject line of your e-mail should identify the course-BUL 3130 and your campus name
and number; ( I also teach MBA and PMBA-Graduate courses so put BUL 3130 for your
course)
Example: A Cocoa scholar would put: BUL 3130 Cocoa (and the section number here)
c. always send to me at Charles.Lako@ucf.edu
7. MORE VIP Information for YOU:
