GD212 Copyright Issues
Week 6
1. At the beginning of class, each team will turn in its (typed) presentation outline draft
for peer and instructor feedback.
2. Bring any general questions about the "Myths" handout. You'll want to clear
up any misunderstandings before writing responses on the midterm exam.
Midterm Assessment on Identifying Basic Copyright Issues
and on Debunking Myths
Bring list of myths, your preparatory notes,
and other course materials to class. You will use them to compose responses
to myths presented as the Midterm Assessment.
About Copyright Field Presentations
As a term project, each student will prepare a presentation on Copyright Basics
for an AILA class. Bookings are made through the copyright instructor and the
host instructor (also known as "the client"), but the copyright student is
thereafter responsible directly
to the client with regard to exact booking time, any custom presentation
content, and other arrangements. The host instructor will evaluate the student
presentation for content, clarity, interest (which includes visual stimuli),
and attention to specific needs of the particular AILA audience
(e.g., animators, multimedia and video producers, graphic designers, etc.).
(See your copy of the assessment form.)
In addition, team members will assess each other's preparation and
presentation performance.
Copyright Myths
Refer to the list of myths.
Do the myths bring out issues that you'd like to address in your field
presentation to AILA students? Which ones? How will you present them?
Head Start on Trademark Reports
On our seventh class meeting, you'll be called on to summarize the
important information in one of the following trademark websites.
(It will also help each of you answer simple
Trademark questions in your presentation.)
If your last name begins with A-G, summarize
the material in
Trademarks & Business Goodwill.
If your last name begins with H-P, summarize
the material in
Basic Facts about Registering A Trademark.
If your last name begins with Q-Z, summarize
the material in
Trademark Qs and As and in
Your Trademark: Do's and Don'ts.
