Part II:

1. Make a list of 5 ideas you would like to learn more about in employment law and why. These can include concepts discussed in the syllabus, e.g. class actions, unions, discrimination and employee benefits. (This does not have to be longer that one sentence.)

2. Go review another classmate's list. Choose one item that your classmate has that you did not mention. Why did you chose this?

Keep track of your list throughout the units, making notes about how your ideas may or may not evolve.

By the end of the course, you should have a note for each idea, discussing a related case, law, current event or situation.

Part III:

Briefly describe a time that you (if not you, then someone you know) were in a situation where you were not classified as an employee but as an independent contractor, temporary worker, or some other type of contingent worker. How was the relationship between the organization and the worker different from an employer-employee relationship? What were the pros and cons for you as a worker? Hypothesize your answer if you do not have first-hand knowledge of a scenario described.
