Site structure
Current Assignment: To add answers or responses to the site, you must begin at the sign in screen. Since you must authenticate yourself to the program before entering data, bookmarking interior pages will merely send you back to the signin screen. This is not a bug, but a feature. The welcome page that follows signin gives you a link from which you may edit your profile.
We recommend that you compose answers in a word processor or text editor and copy them to the web form, to assure that you don't lose answers to a software bug or computer problem. Once you have typed the answer, highlight the whole thing and press CTRL-C (or Mac Command-C) to copy; move the cursor to the text box on the web form, and press CTRL-V (Mac Command-V) to paste.
Discussion: The discussion area is a threaded discussion distinct from the questions and answers each week. This discussion runs off the Harvard Law School server, and requires a Harvard username and password to enter. If you are on the Harvard network, your username for this area is your email address, and your password is the password you use to access email.
Calendar: The calendar is a brief schedule of discussion topics and guest speakers.
Syllabus: The syllabus offers a more detailed list of each topic's readings, with links to web material.
Library: Browse the library for links other participants have found useful, and add your own to the list.
Class List: The class list displays brief profiles of the participants. Clicking on any name gives you a more detailed profile and a collection of that participant's answers to earlier questions. (The same profiles and answers are available through the archive, as well.)
Archive: The archive contains past answers and responses, arranged both by question and by participant name. Answers wil be displayed only after the question has closed (when answers are due).
