About the Class:

7:30am to noon is classroom instruction

Noon to 1pm.  Break for lunch

(Bring a lunch or you can buy lunch at several places close by on and off campus.)  

1pm to 5pm is self-study using a computer program.

When you are ready, in the afternoon, you may take the exam.  You don't have

to take the test that day if you are not ready and would like to study more.

Each student needs a laptop computer. The laptop needs to run MikeRowesoft Windows with an optical drive to run a program from CD.  I also have a CD for Linux and Mactel laptops (The newer Macs that have an Intel microprocessor) if you can boot off the CD drive. The Mac/Linux CD also allows you to run the program without installing it (this is great if your laptop is borrowed.)  No programmable calculators.

The test is given on computer and graded immediately. Specific instructions how to use the exam program will be given.

Directions to the class:

Room 276 in the Howard W. Hunter Law library in the J Reuben Clarke law building (JRCB) on BYU campus.  If you get lost ask someone on campus.

We start before the library opens so be on time so you can be let in.  Park in the lot immediately east of the law building.  Don't park in the restricted areas like Dean's spot, delivery etc....

1.       Enter through the right set of the east facing doors just left of the service entrance and go halfway down the hall and turn right.  You are now facing 3 doors with the elevator on your left. 

2.       Go through the door on the right that has the large round sign "caution automatic door".  Go through the detectors by the main entrance and past the circulation desk.

3.       Room 276 has a green blinking light right next to the door to your left about 100 feet in.
