Week 14: April 30-May 4

The reading for this week is brief and very simple; the chapter on contracts and treaties of Honore´ s book. Besides, find short answers to the following questions:

1. When a binding contract is created?
2. What are other sources of obligations besides contracts?
3. What types of contracts we have? (classification, not examples)
4. What are some of the contracts that business deal with on every day basis?
5. What is the difference between employment contract and other type of civil/private contracts?
6. What, in your country, is the legislation applicable to contractual relationships?

Both sides of the debate would have received a passing grade, a 4 in the opinion of most of the students a 2 in mine, but to slice it fair a 3. Many are criteria applicable and detailed feedback is available upon request. However, according to records on the preparation and conduction of the debate, and the quality of the participation, these grades are adjusted, so at the end everyone got a personal evaluation that ranges from 0-5. These will be communicated to the group later.

The next class will take place in week 15, when at least a list of preliminary bibliography for the final paper should be ready. I will be available to correct the works in progress (I recommend you to use this opportunity!). The final paper is due on week 16.
