BUS-FP3021 u01a1 - Case Law Analysis: Judicial Concepts Learner: Robert , Dorsey

OVERALL COMMENTS Robert,

Thank you for your submission of the first assessment. Please take a moment to view my video and my

Announcements in class. I think it will give you a good introduction to the class and save a lot of time for you. It will

help you to avoid common mistakes, and, I daresay, will reduce the number of attempts needed to complete the

assessments.

I hope my feedback is helpful. Please let me know via course message (using the link under Course Tools) if you

have any questions or comments. Should you decide to make revisions in a subsequent attempt, please be sure to

highlight them.

Warmly, Lynn

CRITERIA 1

Exhibit information literacy skills as applied to business law.

COMPETENCY

Develop information literacy skills as applied to business law.

NON_PERFORMANCE: Does not exhibit any information literacy skills as applied to business law.

BASIC:

Exhibits inconsistent information literacy skills as applied to business law, or uses sources of questionable

credibility.

PROFICIENT: Exhibits information literacy skills as applied to business law.

DISTINGUISHED:

Exhibits information literacy skills as applied to business law, and supports statements with legal research

from credible legal research databases and online resources.

Comments:

Information literacy skill is not exhibited because a court decision is not listed in References or cited. A court is

not identified. A case is not identified by case name. We (you and I) need to be looking at the same case.

Please use the resources in class to find a case and lists its location so that I can read it too.

This sounds like an interesting case, though. I would love to read more about it. I always thought the iTunes

store was a bit unfair.

It's unclear how the case impacts business because you did not explain why the court ruled in Apple's favor.

You stated Apple won the lawsuit, but not why? Without knowing why, we can't determine what the impact of

this case will be on others.

any other organization the case could impact. The purpose of this criterion is to show what universal impact

the case could have, not just on these parties.
