These Legal Research Assignments will have weekly deadlines and, depending upon the discretion of the Professor teaching a particular course, will be subject to a diminution in the grade assigned if they are submitted late beyond any deadline, and will be integrated through the Aristotle Scholar360 learner management system. All assignments should be submitted upon completion in digital form (i.e., either as an attachment to an email (only MS Word is acceptable) or within the body of an email, depending upon the discretion of the Professor teaching a particular course. Alternative arrangements for submitting Legal Research Assignments may be provided at the discretion of the Professor teaching the particular course. Because Legal Research Assignments are intended to assure student's comprehensive and effective preparation in the study of law, Legal Research Assignments are MANDATORY in any online program or course offered at the Aristotle University Institute of Law and Jurisprudence. Legal Research Assignments will be assigned in each online course on a weekly basis; generally, the student will have one (1) week to complete the assignment. The Aristotle University Institute of Law and Jurisprudence shall employ a sufficient number of Faculty to assure that the Faculty's response to, or evaluation of, each student’s legal research assignment (lesson, project, or Thesis) is emailed to the student within ten (10) days after the lesson, project, etc. was received by the Faculty.
