Academic Integrity
All students enrolled in courses at the LBJ School are expected to understand and observe principles of academic integrity. Plagiarism, for example, or other forms of cheating, will not be tolerated and will constitute grounds for course failure without credit as well as possible disciplinary action.

For more information about the standards of academic integrity and their enforcement at the University of Texas at Austin, consult a Web page (click here) of the Office of Student Judicial Services.

Course Schedule

	June 7	Introduction to Public Policy and the Internet
	June 9	The Internet as Paradigm
	June 14 and 16	Federal Telecommunications Policy
	June 21	Copyright, Intellectual Property and Open Source

The remainder of this course, through July 7, will be scheduled on an on-going basis, as an experiment, in collaboration with students. The first three scheduled classes will be background information, and the rest of the class sessions will be the product of class discussion on the most salient public policy issues surrounding the Internet, and how those should be addressed. The course will strive for "project-based learning," rather than formally scheduled and presented lectures with assigned readings.
