Plenary: CLAY SHIRKY
Audience:
Technical Level:

"...Since discovering the net in 1993, the things I’ve spent my time thinking through, working on, and writing about have varied widely.

I have been a producer, programmer, professor, designer, author, consultant, sometimes working with people who wanted to create a purely intellectual or aesthetic experience online, sometimes working with people who wanted to use the internet to sell books or batteries or banking.

While doing this work, I have always written about whatever interested me at the time: the philosophical characteristics of WAP; the change Napster portends for internet architecture; the price of information in a system with no delivery bottleneck; the approach to representation of 3D space in shoot-’em-up games; the effects of the British Empire on the use of English on the net; the particular brand of lies favored by new media marketers.

I have pursued these things with no particular goal other than clarifying for myself what it is I think. There is no grand scheme there, no central goal, no master plan..."

Some quotes from a recent article "Situated Software" on www.shirky.com:

"...Situated software isn't a technological strategy so much as an attitude about closeness of fit between software and its group of users, and a refusal to embrace scale, generality or completeness as unqualified virtues. Seen in this light, the obsession with personalization of Web School software is an apology for the obvious truth -- most web applications are impersonal by design, as they are built for a generic user. Allowing the user to customize the interface of a Web site might make it more useful, but it doesn't make it any more personal than the ATM putting your name on the screen while it spits out your money..."

"...So what happens next? If what I'm seeing is not transitory or limited to a narrow set of situations, then we'll see a rise in these small form-fit applications. This will carry some obvious downsides, including tying the developers of such applications to community support roles, and shortening the useful lifespan of the software made in this way.

Expectations of longevity, though, are the temporal version of scale -- we assume applications should work for long periods in part because it costs so much to create them. Once it's cheap and easy to throw together an application, though, that rationale weakens. Businesses routinely ask teams of well-paid people to put hundreds of hours of work creating a single PowerPoint deck that will be looked at in a single meeting. The idea that software should be built for many users, or last for many years, are cultural assumptions not required by the software itself.

Indeed, as a matter of effect, most software built for large numbers of users or designed to last indefinitely fails at both goals anyway. Situated software is a way of saying "Most software gets only a few users for a short period; why not take advantage of designing with that in mind?"

This, strangely, is a kind of progress, not because situated software will replace other kinds of applications, but because it mostly won't. For all the value we get out of the current software ecosystem, it doesn't include getting an application built for a handful of users to use for a few months. Now, though, I think we're starting to see a new software niche, where communities get form-fit tools for very particular needs, tools that fail most previous test of design quality or success, but which nevertheless function well, because they are so well situated in the community that uses them."

Wireless Policies and Network Lockdown: Can We, Should We?
Audience:
Technical Level:

This program will focus on restricting access to computing resources that are generally "unlocked" and discuss the implications of decisions
to lockdown a computer or network service. We will begin by presenting a variety of existing restrictions and develop several broad categories of access restriction ranging from kiosk to unlimited workstation.

Discussion will include various technical methods for imposing rules on users. Finally we will consider the practical, day-to-day effects, the
larger social implications and non-technical, social, methods of imposing restrictive policies. Goals: Participants will become familiar with several technical methods for restricting resources and will become aware of non-technical effects of restrictions.

THE SCOUT PORTAL TOOLKIT FOR WEB/DATABASE LEGAL MATERIALS
Audience: faculty, librarians
Technical Level: low

The Scout Portal Toolkit is used to provide web based databases of legal materials. There are many ways for the technologically sophisticated and the well
funded law schools to create web based databases of useful legal material but there are not as many for those individuals or groups who lack technical expertise or lack funding to obtain those to do the same thing. The Scout Portal Toolkit offers a way for the latter individuals and institutions to make useful databases available on the web.

My web based database is Law Scout http://lawscout.uakron.edu/ and here is a blurb I received...

Legal Pathfinders
New Resource, Law Scout Takes to the Web <http://lawscout.uakron.edu/> This "just announced" resource is the work of law librarian and law
professor, Paul Richert, at the University of Akron Law School. It uses software from the Internet Scout Project's Portal Toolkit . Law Scout provides access
(direct links) to pathfinders from law schools and other institutions. New material is being added on a regular basis. More information and a
few caveats can be found in the announcement section at the top of the site. Kudos to Paul on a job well done. This site and the materials it
provides access to has the potential to save you a great deal of time when doing legal research.

Winning Litigation through Strategic Profiling - CourtLink Strategic Profiles
Audience:
Technical Level:

Today's litigation calls for a more effective and efficient approach to client representation during discovery. As corporate counsel increase their litigation budgets, they are also becoming savvier in their selection of primary counsel - focusing on counsel who demonstrate an ability to reduce costs and strategically handle the challenges associated with discovery. To this end, legal professionals are recognizing the importance of conducting investigative research during discovery.

The vast amount of information available online, both free to the user and by subscription, can make such efforts difficult. Ultimately, the overwhelming number of search engines and other tools can render the researcher less productive than hoped. LexisNexis understands the frustration experienced by researchers and has responded by creating a new tool that makes such investigation more effective and efficient. In particular, LexisNexis has unveiled a litigation profiling tool that leverages court records information to uncover the full litigation history of the key players in litigation - CourtLink Strategic Profiles. The ability to profile a judge, opposing counsel and litigants litigation history is increasingly becoming a critical component of the discovery effort. This program provides exposure to this new technology and offers real best practices from firms throughout the country that are enhancing their approach to litigation through strategic profiling.

Just the Fact's Ma'am? An Activity-Theoretical Approach to Legal Information Retrieval Performance
Audience: Faculty and Law Librarians
Technical: Low

Despite widespread availability of information retrieval systems in law, evaluation of large commercial legal information retrieval systems (such as Lexis and Westlaw) has been problematic. This session describes a preliminary attempt to develop an alternative method of legal information retrieval evaluation based upon Activity Theory. Law school Lexis and Westlaw users were examined. The data was interpreted with a focus on breakdowns in user interaction with the system. An easy to administer methodology which librarians can use to get a feel for how their information systems are performing for their users will be discussed.

WHY EVERY FACULTY MEMBER SHOULD AUTHOR A CALI LESSON
Audience: law faculty
Technical Level: low

This session flips the usual discussion of how the use of CALI lessons improves one's teaching and discuss instead how authoring CALI lessons improves one's teaching. Based on my experience authoring CALI lessons, I will talk about how writing those lessons improved my teaching by forcing me to deal fully with the following issues in a systematic way:

1. Organization: How things best fit together; what the sequence of
   topics should be; what background is needed to tackle a particular topic
   
2. Importance: What are the major points we want students to retain?
   What's the relative importance of various topics? What can safely be
   omitted? What am I omitting that I shouldn't?
   
3. Student errors: How are students likely to misunderstand particular
   topics and why? What wrong answers are they likely to come up with and
   how should I anticipate that? How should I deal with their
   misunderstanding?
   
4. Approach: How should I approach particular topics? What's best
   handled by lecture? What type of questioning works best for each topic?
   How should I formulate those questions? What are good and bad
   hypotheticals and why?
   
5. Detailed understanding of a topic: All of us have little gaps in
   knowledge because we don't teach particular subtopics. Authoring allows
   us to fill those gaps and decide if they really are important enough to
   exclude.

BOOKLOCKER AND ELECTRONIC E-BOOKS FOR LAW STUDENTS
Audience: All
Technical Level: Low

Over the past 4 years, we have been searching for a way to securely distribute course books, packs and other digital material for our students. Up until recently, we have hit numerous barriers. Publishers have been reluctant to provide digital content because of the numerous copyright, distribution and usage problems.

The past 2 semesters we have partnered with MDRM, Dell and numerous publishers in piloting a digital rights management device codenamed "BookLocker" in our College of Law.

" BookLocker" is a next-generation infrastructure that allows a secure solution for publishers to distribute, manage and update digital content while providing users a portable, friendly experience spanning multiple electronic devices including laptops, desktops, PDA's, tablets, smart phones and televisions.

We are encouraged by the results and are evaluating various implementation strategies for our 1st year law students in Fall of 2004. We think "Booklocker" could positively impact legal education in the very near future.

Asynchronous Legal Research Courses: Two Case Studies
Audience:
Technical Level:

Ms. Good's presentation will demonstrate the educational technologies used to teach an Online Immigration Law Research Seminar taught in the fall of 2003 at Boston College Law School. The course took place within WebCT and relied on the discussion board, video, readings, and problem sets to deliver the course content. The presentation will detail the pedagogical and technological issues raised when creating an online course. Although the online course covered immigration research materials, the instructor's approach may be applied to any subject. The presentation will also cover compliance with the ABA's guidelines on distance education.

Ms. Buxton's presentation will cover the areas of the technology and its application, pedagogical issues, and the specific development, implementation and teaching of the online Advanced Legal Research unit. The technology utilised is a version of a more generic educational technology called InterLearn, which has been specifically tailored for Law (and is called LEX), and the online unit we would discuss as the
example of its implementation within the Monash Law undergraduate program is called Skills, Ethics and Research D: Advanced Legal Research.

CYBERETHICS
Audience: All
Technical Level: Low

As a computer user, what risks do you assume when something goes wrong? If someone pretends to be you, and sends email or spreads a virus as if they were you, are you responsible for damages?

As an IT professional, how do you treat personal or sensitive law school information or email? Is it ever "ok" to read someone's
personal email.

Should your law school "police" what programs are running on a law school computer?

Is it unethical to distribute a computer program that seems to do one thing, but actually does something else (collects personal data)?

Is hacking or distributing viruses illegal, immoral, or unethical? How do you punish those who break the rules?

Finally, what are some of the relevant facts that help make for good decision making in CyberEthics?

These and related topics will be discussed in this program.

Stop the Web-Surfing and reclaim your classroom! Software Secure enables faculty to control how computers are used in class
Audience:
Technical Level:

With the proliferation of student laptop computers and wireless access, faculty long for the return of simple manageable distractions like crossword puzzles and the distribution of hand-written notes. Today is the era of “Digital Distraction”: where web-surfing, instant messaging, trading stocks or playing solitaire all happen on the same screen students use to take notes. Come learn how Software Secure’s Classmate product is bringing focus back to the classroom by eliminating the digital distraction and facilitating the responsible incorporation of computers in to the learning process.

Software Secure’s Classmate enables faculty to know that students are using their computers for class work and not surfing the net, instant messaging their friends or playing games. Classmate empowers the professor to determine how computers are used in class. This simple to use software provides faculty with the flexibility to determine when and how computers are used in class. With a click of a mouse, Faculty can peel back layers of computing functionality like an onion: restricting access only to word-processing for taking notes, providing access to other desktop tools, providing access to the internet, distributing real-time polls and surveys, whatever level of technical sophistication the professor desires.

Learn how Software Secure is helping faculty take back control of the classroom while simultaneously providing students access to technology that is improving the learning process.

An Open Source - Expert System for Legal Clinics
Audience: Low
Technical Level: Low

Frustrated at the time it takes to get legal clinic students in up to speed in technical areas of the law? Expert Systems can help students successfully navigate technical areas of the law, more quickly, and with fewer mistakes. They can also reduce the demands on staff lawyers at the beginning of term at legal clinics.

While Expert Systems can be a helpful tool in the legal clinic setting, they can also be costly to purchase, and to setup. This is why we have pursued an Open Source model for both the creation on the Expert System software, and potentially for knowledge put into the software.

During the session we will do the following:

1. Demonstrate a working prototype of the software,
2. Discuss why we pursued the Open Source model for this project,
3. Review how other institutions can use the software, and
4. Discuss how institutions can contribute to the project.

You can see the project web sites at: http://law-expert.sourceforge.net/ and http://sourceforge.net/projects/law-expert/.

"Bang the Drum"- Marketing Educational Technology
Audience:
Technical Level:

Are your faculty resistant to new technologies? Is everyone too busy to "try out" the latest improvements? Time to drum up "clients". All the great technological advancements at hand don't mean a hill of beans if your faculty don't use them and the students don't benefit from them. Since faculty and staff can be wary of what's new, you have to "bang the drum" to draw people to the technology... to get it in their hands and into the classroom. Get technological solutions in front of their faces by marketing to your target audience, the faculty. Flash, A/V, PowerPoint, Internet, Blackboard, RSS, Tablet PCs, PDAs... the list grows everyday and if the target audience has never been sold on it... it will never sell.

Plagiarism Detection Software: Is It All You Need?
Audience:
Technical Level:

There is considerable concern about plagiarism in law schools, and systems such as Turnitin.com and EVE2 are sometimes seen as quick means of detection. In this program, the speakers will discuss what these (and other) systems do and do not do, and how they fit into an overall process of plagiarism detection. The speakers will also discuss the use of Westlaw and Lexis products that can be used for detection. Both speakers have done extensive, in-depth investigations of alleged plagiarism. They use plagiarism detection software initially, but then do their own research to finalize the investigation.

Simple Techniques for Using Technology Effectively in Your Teaching
Audience: Faculty and Librarians
Technical Level:

Incorporating technology into your teaching can sometimes seem like rocket science - but it doesn't have to be. There are simple things, program features, techniques, and tools that you can easily and quickly learn, use, and that will deliver great benefits for you and your students. These don't require you to make sacrifices to the geek gods either.

I will demonstrate some of these techniques, teach a member of the audience the basics of a new program and have that person then demonstrate their mastery to the group by using the program during a discussion of the roadblocks to using technology in our courses. Finally, there will be time for everyone to share their experiences, good and bad, with the use of technology.

Extended Legal Information Resources on the Web: Looking Beyond Traditional Research Skills
Audience: law faculty and librarians
Technical Level: Low

Advances in web-based technologies are providing increased accessibility to extended information through commercial, academic, and governmental websites. As it has not been widely available until recently, the use of extended information, much of it statistical in nature, has not generally been incorporated into legal research instruction. As more extended information becomes available, consideration should be given to the skills needed by students and practitioners to synthesize this data to make effective use of all available legal information resources.

This program will use case examples to present:

1. New sources of extended information, including TracFed (http://tracfed.syr.edu);
2. How traditional legal research can be enhanced with new information, including experiential and operational information; and
3. Fundamental skills that competent researchers will need, including the comparative analysis of data in illustrative formats.

Jack Balkin's recent piece on virtual worlds (http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/jbalkin/articles/virtual_liberty1.pdf) is yet one more example of the emergence of virtual worlds as legal, economic and cultural entities that deserve serious consideration by real world analysts. Legal education has been slow to discover that virtual simulation is a valuable method of learning about the law, the legal profession and its transactions. In this presentation I shall demonstrate how the Glasgow Graduate School of Law (GGSL) has used virtual simulation to enhance student learning in a postgraduate professional practice course. The tour will include some of the online tools that students and staff used within the simulated environment; learning theory that guided the Learning Technologies Development Unit within the GGSL, and feedback from the users.

Using Video to Explore Critical Cases - What Works, What's at Stake, and Technical Details
Audience:
Technical Level:

Distinctive Aspects of American Law is a Duke Law course that uses critical Supreme Court cases to teach international LLM students about the unique qualities of the United States legal system. Many of these cases are also taught in other areas of the curriculum. The intent of this project, conceived by Professor Tom Metzloff at Duke Law, has been to provide multimedia content for the introduction and discussion of these cases. Such content supports alternative learning styles and provides a richer context for the consideration of the legal issues.

The core undertaking has been to produce short documentaries that include interviews with those directly involved in the cases. The documentaries provide succinct analyses of the issues and of the impact on plaintiff and defendant.

In this session we will discuss the pedagogical principles behind this approach, the risks of mixing media and analysis, and the measurements of success to date. We will also show an example of one of our Case Videos. Finally we will discuss the technical aspects of producing these documentaries.

Converting/Creating a distance law course
Audience: Faculty members, academic administrators, and technologists
Technical Level: Focus will be on pedagogical issues and basic technology options, detailed knowledge of particular technologies not required

The ABA accreditation rules now allow 1/3 of the credits for any classroom-based course to rest on work done through a full range of distance learning approaches and 12 credits of the total required for graduation to be earned in fully online courses. This new distance option poses several intersecting questions for most existing courses: 1) Are there components of this course that might be delivered effectively online or via disk? 2) Are there compelling reasons to attempt conversion of the entire course to a distance format? 3) How might one approach the conversion of all or part of the course for distance delivery?

Drawing upon his experience in converting two upperclass electives (Copyright and Social Security Law) to fully online offerings Peter Martin will work through key steps in the distance course or course module creation process. Those steps include: 1) analysis of current uses of classroom sessions; 2) mapping those uses against currently available modes of teacher-student and student-student interaction at a distance; 3) reviewing fresh pedagogical possibilities opened by these new alternatives; 4) taking account of the preferred as well as the likely conditions of student use as well as the technology available to the course creator and teacher; 5) structuring the course or course elements so as to facilitate rather than frustrate future alterations; 6) building in appropriate levels of pacing and accountability; and 7) evaluating outcomes.

The "LII Playbook on Marketing, Conducting, and Administering an Inter-School, Internet-Based Course" that Martin presented at the Louisville CODEC conference assumed the existence of a distance course. This program, illustrated with examples drawn from the LII's past and future online courses, amounts to its prequel -- in effect "The LII Playbook on Distance Course (or Course Module) Design and Construction.

How to Encourage Faculty to Use Online Resources
Audience:
Technical Level:

In times of soaring prices and shrinking or stagnant budgets, librarians must make difficult decisions about collection development. Electronic resources seem to solve many perennial problems faced by librarians who must find space for increasing print collections, keep
track of materials that end up in faculty offices without being checked out, and find the manpower to engage in the unending task of
looseleafing. However, many faculty members are reluctant to give up print resources and are resistant to learning how to access information electonically.

Come listen to two Faculty Services Librarians talk about their experiences with faculty use of electronic materials and learn how to
overcome the technophobia of faculty members, both younger and older.

Making Simulations More Effective: Using Offline Web Cameras with Notebook Computers to Enhance Student Learning in Skills Courses
Audience:
Technical Level:

Larry Farmer and Gerry Williams and have put together an innovative application of web camera technology that significantly enhances their ability to capture digital video of student performance (1) on simultaneously conducted, in-class exercises and (2) in separately scheduled out-of-class exercises. A remarkable feature of this method is that it requires virtually no computer or media services staff time while providing students with digital video recordings of all simulation exercises, whether simultaneously conducted in-class or separately out-of-class. In addition to allowing for general recording of all student exercises, the method they have developed makes all video files quickly available for student, TAs and the course instructor review.

Exploring the 'it' in IT
Audience:
Technical Level:

As technology has become more pervasive in academia, IT personnel have been asked to do almost everything at one time or another. In addition to traditional IT roles, IT is often asked to assist with project management, facilities management, communications, HR and a host of other tasks. As support needs have escalated, often without a corresponding increasing in staff or budget, the strain on dedicated and talented IT staff has increased. Many individuals and departments have been forced to re-evaluate their institutional roles. This talk will explore the role of IT and IT administration in our institutions. We will attempt to explore the "it" IT should be doing and what we should expect and demand from our constituents and administrations.

The CALI/Knoppix Bootable CD for Student Tech SupporT
Audience: Techies
Technical Level: Medium

Harold Bieber and Daniel Nagy will present a demonstration of a customized version of Knoppix, Cali-oppix. Knoppix is a stand alone bootable version of Linux with a GUI interface. The entire OS and associated programs are compressed and stored on one CD and create a RAM disk when booted. The CALI-ized version of the Knoppix distribution was created with the intention to provide both helpdesk tools and network diagnostic/security tools. The demonstration will go over some of the functionality of CALI-oppix, such as how to recover data from a bad NTFS partition and how map your network.

Create your own web lectures (hands-on limited to 24 faculty)
Audience: Faculty members
Technical Level: No prior experience with digital audio or multi-media authoring required, necessary microphones, software and web-page templates will already be installed on the workshop computers

To this hands-on workshop, participants should bring a small project -- minimally, notes for a lecture topic that they can cover in no more than 10-15 minutes. The notes should be at whatever level of completeness they will require for more or less fluent delivery. Following a demonstration of some alternative approaches and the basics necessary to perform the several steps, each workshop participant will: record a short lecture, edit it, convert the resulting audio file to the compressed mp3 format (easy to download to a computer or play on a student's hand-held device), and fill in the blanks of a companion web page designed to display its contents actively in synch with the lecture. For the latter, participants are encouraged though not required to bring illustrative material beyond bullet-points including: key passages from texts to which their lectures will refer, diagrams or other visual material in the form of image files, and links to relevant web resources.

formation of the cali technical board (ctb)
Audience: All
Technical Level: Low

CALI needs your technical assistance. We have a lot of software projects and new web services that we plan to roll out over the next several years and there are times when “many eyes will make the bugs shallow”. We want to form a CALI Technical Board made up of volunteers (like the CALI Editorial Board) that will be willing to take on small assignments of testing software, reviewing interfaces and submitting bugs or feature requests.

As an incentive for participation, we will assign a point value to each project and members of the CTB that complete the assignment will receive points that can be redeemed for cash or prizes at the end of the calendar year.

Grab your lunch and come to this informal session to discuss the formation of the CTB and offer your ideas and input.

Is it time for a legal technology curriculum?
Audience:
Technical Level:

For the past 120 years legal education in the United States has been fundamentally unchanged, even while the practice of law has been revolutionized by information technology. The ideal of the Socratic method is still dominant in first year and many upperclass courses. Clinical and practice courses have expanded since the early 1980's and often include a technology component. Nevertheless, although state-of-the-art technology is now commonplace in law offices, most federal courthouses, and some state courtrooms, there has been little coordinated effort to contextualize the importance of technology for law students. The panelists will address the question whether it is time to define and promulgate a legal technology curriculum, and will invite audience members to contribute to their thoughts as well.

   A quick view of Japanese Legal History:
   - Influence from ancient China, Korea, the Netherlands, France, Germany, England and the United States
2. Distinctive aspects of Japanese law and Japanese legal system
   - Unified legal system (neither federal nor state)
   - Emperor as national symbol
   - Capital punishment (still!)
3. Legal education *** the main theme #1
   - The faculty of law and the graduate school of law
   - The newly-started law school
4. Bar exam and bar associations
   - The pass rate of the bar examination, its present and future
   - The court, the public prosecutor’s office and the bar association
   - JFBA, Japan Federation of Bar Associations
   - American lawyers and law professors working in Japan
5. Computer-assisted legal education and legal research ***the main theme #2
   - TKC and LEX/DB
   - Other useful DB on the web
   - Legal research for Japanese law in English

This is a compact session about Japanese law and Japanese legal education. Japanese law schools, which are significantly modeled on U.S. law schools, started in April 2004. Existing law faculties and graduate schools of law stand side by side with them. This session has two main themes; how the Japanese legal education system is changing and how legal research is taught at law schools now. It also contains a basic introduction to Japanese law and the legal system.

Japan has 68 law schools and 5,767 law students in the first year. Do those law schools guarantee legal education of high quality? How many law students can actually become lawyers? Does the emergence of the law school result in the decline of the law faculty? How should Japanese law be taught in class? Does the high-tech country of Sony, NEC and Toshiba also provide brilliant computer-based legal education systems for those law students? Do the law professors have full command of legal databases and other computer tools? The session focuses on current and potential problems of the Japanese legal education system.

Webcasts and VLEs: the alternative to the box under the bed...
Audience:
Technical Level:

Webcasts are becoming increasingly common on the internet and on law school intranets. They are easier to produce than before, and would appear to be ideal for distance-learning. However our experience with webcast technologies, and the integration of them with virtual learning environments (over 21 projects during the past three years), has revealed both the strengths and the weaknesses of using this medium for learning and teaching. In this brief workshop presentation we shall present the some of the results of our experience, together with the data from a longitudinal study of webcast use by students on two f2f courses in procedural law.

Towards a Socratic Method Support (assist) System
Audience:
Technical Level:

Japan has just in this April settled a new legal education system of graduate schools of law as professional schools similar to the American law school model. In those schools, professors are newly trying to apply Socratic methods instead of lecture methods which have been applied traditionally in Japanese undergraduate law schools. Japanese law professors do not have experience with Socratic methods in law education. We are therefore building a Socratic method support (assist) system which might help professors as well as students to educate and learn law efficiently, especially in terms of promoting creative legal minds.

Main (purpose of) functions of the system are (1) for professors to prepare series of questions and possible answers relating teaching objectives in the system, (2) for students to think and give their answers to the questions which are presented by the system according to their previous answers, (4) for professors to give comments on students answers afterwards, (5) for students to improve their answers and thoughts according to professors comments and (6) for professors to gather student’s answers to prepare the possible answers for the next time teaching. This system can be used in classes guided by professors as well as at home by students alone.

Description about the functions and structure of the system and the constructing way of the system, in terms of programming. (by Seiichiro)

The use of this system would be more effective in comparison to traditional, non-mechanical Socratic method in that: (a) Socratic dialogs do not disappear after the class but recorded as digital data, which can be used for future education, (b) not a few representative students but all students at the class, or even out of the class, ca
