(a) Students will be called randomly every class.
(b) If you are called and you are absent without valid excuse and you do not have available cuts, you will

(c) The accepted excuse to remove a 65% recitation grade will be on a case-to-case basis, and a maximum

All excused for absences should be covered by written explanations, and shall be considered on their
individual merits. Such excuses to be valid must be submitted immediately at the next meeting after the
absence; otherwise, such excuses shall receive no consideration at all.
(d) You are encouraged to ask questions in class; you may also write down queries and place them on the
desk at the start of the session. There is no such thing as a stupid question in the course. For other
queries, you may forward them to the following e-mail address: tvtiansay@gmail.com

5. Treatment of the Course

As a general rule, proper names, dates and places are not important in reciting the facts and law of
cases assigned, but more importantly the rationale and the principles behind the law and ruling bear more
weight. Present a simple story in class before tackling the legal issues. Facts and law relating to other
discipline of law, such as remedial law, except when necessary to understand Corporation Law principles,
should not even be discussed during recitations.
