Spring 2004 Exams.

Exam Schedule and Room Assignments. The final exam schedule for the current semester is linked to this page. If you have not received an e-mail notification with your exam room assignments, you can find the information by logging into your Web for Students account and clicking on the Spring 2004 link.

Exams on Computer.
If you missed the initial period for registering to take exams on computer, you may still do so for any exam that still has computer slots available. (Please keep in mind that not all professors allow students to take exams on computer.) You may also change your exam preference from computer to hand-writing. For both of these options, log into your Web for Students account and click on the Register for Exams on Computer link (under Online Forms).

Exam Emergencies.
If an emergency occurs that may prevent you from taking a final exam, you or someone on your behalf should call Chris Matheny (312/906-5271) or me (312/906-5130) as soon as possible. If you cannot reach either of us, call the Registrar's office (312/906-5080). Do not contact your professor, as this may compromise your anonymity. Please read Section VII of the Student Handbook, which contains the rules governing exams, exam conflicts, make-up exams, missed exams, and related issues; and review Article II of the Code of Conduct in the Student Handbook.

Consulting Laptops During Exams. Unless your professor specifically authorizes it, you may not consult materials (notes, outlines, etc.) stored on your laptop computer during an open book or limited open book exam; you are limited to consulting print materials authorized by your professor. Please note: This is separate from the issue of whether you may write your exam on your own laptop. The limitation described above applies whether you are writing your exam by hand or on a lab or laptop computer.

Cell Phones During Exams. You are not permitted to use a cell phone during any exam, including during any restroom breaks. If you have a cell phone with you during an exam, it must be turned off and stored out of sight.

Fall 2004 Registration: Updates. The initial registration period is now over. If you have not already done so, please log back into the online registration system to see what classes you were admitted into. You may make adjustments to your schedule through the end of the second week of the Fall semester. The Fall 2004 Registration Bulletin, which includes the final schedule of Fall classes and course and exam grids, is available outside the third floor cafeteria. Online versions of these documents are available through the online registration link and the main Student Portal page.

Please note the following corrections and addition to the Fall schedule:

Clinical schedule: The description in the final Schedule of Classes of hours expected from clinical students contained errors. Although the total number of hours expected for the semester were listed correctly, the hours per week were incorrect. Here is the correct information: "Students are expected to put in a minimum of 112 hours (an average of 8 hours a week for 14 weeks) for 2 hours of credit, a minimum of 168 hours (an average of 12 hours a week for 14 weeks) for 3 hours of credit, and a minimum of 224 hours (an average of 16 hours a week for 14 weeks ) for 4 hours of credit."

Tax Policy seminar: This seminar was listed on the class grids by mistake. It will not be offered.

Intellectual Property in the High Tech Era: The credits for this intensive course will not count toward the minimum or maximum Fall credits a student may take. (If you wish to take this course, but it will cause you to exceed your Fall semester maximum credits, please contact me so that we can adjust your maximum credits in the system.)

Redesigning the Health Care System seminar: This new seminar has been added to the Fall 2004 schedule. It will meet Mondays, 4:00 - 5:50 pm, and will be taught by Professor Michele Baker Richardson. The course number is 620-071. The course description is as follows: This seminar will address the debate now raging across America about what should be done to improve the way we respond to injuries suffered during medical treatment. While some rely on the civil justice system and tort law developed to address medical malpractice, others challenge that system and argue for one or another reform approach. We will critically analyze several of the major proposals for systemwide reform, and work toward developing an innovative and effective proposal. Prerequisites: None. Recommended: Medical Malpractice.

Spring 2005 Preliminary Schedule: Correction. An incorrect ending time was listed for Prof. Leech's seminar, Contemporary Issues in Employment Law. It will meet Tuesdays, 6:00-7:50 pm.

Joke of the Week. Question: What do Mack the Knife, Winnie the Pooh, and Attila the Hun have in common? Answer: Their middle names.
