Introduction

During Week 2, the course learning transitions from general principles of law to specific areas related to business law. Week 2 is focused on the elements of a contract. By the end of this week, students should be able to describe and apply the elements of a valid contract; and, evaluate remedies for breach of contract. Additionally, students should be able to assess the role the Uniform Commercial Code plays in contracts for the sale of goods. A two to three page Critical Analysis Paper is due on Day 7 to provide students the opportunity to implement the learned concepts by applying the elements of a contract and identifying available remedies for breach of contract to a contract the student has entered into or someone they know has entered into. Finally, a quiz will be due on Day 6 to reinforce the learning for this week.
