Course Resources
by John Bandler
Here are some resources for courses I teach at formal academic institutions (law school, graduate school, undergraduate school).
This page is geared for my students at those formal academic institutions, and helps me provide updated information and resources to students. While I use the school's learning management system (LMS), each school uses a different one and then they change their platforms periodically. So this website has helpful supplementary instructions.
Since these resources are general, please see your course's syllabus, LMS, and specific instructions for your course and consider that higher levels of work are expected at students at higher levels of education (e.g., college vs. graduate school vs. law school).
Good principles about learning, law, and cyber transcend and scale. They apply to every student, at any level of education, and also those with no formal college education at all. You start from where you are right now. My job is to help you move forward and improve yourself.
1. Streamlined Course resources from John Bandler (for the LMS)
The following blurb and links are probably within your LMS to provide the most important links, in a streamlined fashion.
Below are some resources that can help you with this course, other courses, and developing good habits to be a life-long learner).
Some of these articles may also be part of our syllabus (required reading). These webpages are general and for a variety of audiences (including undergraduate, graduate, and law students), so adjust your effort accordingly, and see guidance specific to this course. Some articles have an accompanying video at the bottom, or available directly through my YouTube channel.

Why
I created this page and all these resources because it can help every student to some degree, and I realized some students needed a lot of help. More here.
