BUSINESS LAW I

ASSIGNMENT 2-MUSIC SAMPLING (A4)

CHAPTER 4

General Notes and Instructions:

1. Be sure to answer each question completely.
2. Fully explain your answers/position. Your answers need to be based on some research that you discuss and to which you provide links!
3. Do not expect to earn any points by just writing yes or no! Include a full discussion of why you answered the way you did.
4. Include links to all your information sources so I can easily find them.

Check out this 1999 Princeton University paper for lots of good information:

http://www.princeton.edu/~artspol/studentpap/undergrad%20thesis1%20JLind.pdf

1. Use complete sentences. 
2. Pay attention to your spelling, grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure.
3. Make sure you answer all the questions-do not skip any parts of them.
4. I would use this Word file of A4 as my template and insert the answer to each question right under the question, itself. I would indent and color my answers. If you do this, you will not mistakenly miss a question or a part of a question!
5. Save your work in Microsoft WORD and attach it as a file when you go to submit it in BlackBoard. 
6. Your file needs to be named as follows. If you do not do this, you will lose 5 points right off the top on Assignment 2!
