Period 2: Warranties, Day 1 - Class Recap

President John F. Kennedy was assassinated 50 years ago today, in Dallas. Here's a quote I really like at the JFK Presidential Library in Boston.

Hi everyone,

I tried as best I could to make the lesson on warranties interesting - I do wonder if the Friday morning malaise made it difficult. Hopefully, we got there in the end! 

Soundtrack: “Wordplay” by Jason Mraz. Selected because specific words are what makes contracts really important. Lyrics here.

AGENDA 11/22/13:
Tort Reports
Introduction to Warranties
Used Car Simulation
Chapter 24 Work

Homework: Read the blog! Next tort reports assigned to: Tim and Brendan.

Tort Reports: Marsuk remembered to bring this article in to talk about: MercuryNews.com - Apple vs. Samsung: Jury awards $290 million to Apple in patent feud. We discovered in class that I was mistaken about Samsung delivering the money owed in coins. That's a hoax! Always good to check. :-)

Introduction to Warranties: I thought this was one of the best PowerPoints of all time. With Tommy Boy movie clips that relate to guarantees/warranties/sales! Here it is to review again if you missed class or did not take notes:

Google Drive: Introduction to Warranties PowerPoint

Pretty basic stuff, I hope.

Used Car Simulation: Next, I had Daniel, Kham, and Austin do a roleplay of buying a car. Which is helpful, because Kham actually IS going car shopping soon! Here is the mini-lesson to review, if you wanted to check it out again. Remember that you will almost certainly need to be able to read a warranty and decide what it covers as a part of the upcoming test.

Chapter 24 Work: The rest of the class was devoted to answering questions in the book. Not super glamorous, I know, but it means that we can move forward with the next chapter (and probably watch the Madoff documentary) next class, instead of spending two days on a (mostly) dry topic.

Have a wonderful weekend! See you on Tuesday!
