Note on Intellectual Property:
This course is a work of original authorship. All course materials (class lectures and discussions, handouts, examinations, web materials) and the intellectual content of the course itself are protected by United States Federal Copyright Law, the California Civil Code, and the California Education Code. Students are permitted to make notes solely for their own private educational use. Students (and all other persons) are expressly forbidden from recording lectures or discussions and from distributing or selling lectures notes and all other course materials without the prior written permission of the instructor.

The California Education Code (Part 40, Chapter 6.5) states that "no business, agency, or person, including, but not necessarily limited to, an enrolled student, shall prepare, cause to be prepared, give, sell, transfer, or otherwise distribute or publish, for any commercial purpose, any contemporaneous recording of an academic presentation in a classroom or equivalent site of instruction by an instructor of record. This prohibition applies to a recording made in any medium, including, but not necessarily limited to, handwritten or typewritten class notes."

California law forbids anyone from making use of class lecture notes for commercial purposes, and such activity is expressly forbidden without the instructor's written permission. No one may make recordings of lectures in this course in other media without the instructor's permission.
