What BUSI 561 covers
Kubasek's Dynamic Business Law, in a biblical worldview edition, is read across eight weeks, from the legal system, constitutional principles and international law through crime, negligence, product liability and intellectual property, contracts, alternative dispute resolution and torts, agency, business organizations and securities to employment and discrimination law.
The forums are research assignments in miniature: every thread must reach 1,000 words with three scholarly sources beyond the course materials and two quoted verses, and every reply 450 words with three more sources and a verse, so each forum calls for nine outside sources; threads also go through SafeAssign.
This course provides the student with a foundational knowledge of the legal issues that both start-up and established business enterprises face. Armed with this wisdom, the student will assess an organization's need for competent legal advice from an experienced professional in matters of contracts, corporations, employment, insurance, intellectual property, international trade, leases, limited liability organizations, partnerships, and homeland security concerns.

Where BUSI 561 papers lose points
BUSI 561 work loses points when a thread or reply counts the textbook among its three scholarly sources, when Scripture is quoted without being applied to the legal question, when a contracts analysis describes rules without applying them to the scenario's facts and numbers, and when cases and statutes are named without their holdings.
Using a BUSI 561 sample well
