Paper Extension Requests

One hopes that life carries on as intended but, sometimes, things don't go as planned. As you know, your papers are due on 11 April 2016. Should you find it necessary to do so, you may request an extension. However please note that I have no role in that process and requests are assessed according to established criteria. 

Any student requests for extensions for research papers are to be directed to Assistant Dean, Students, Mya Rimon (MRimon@osgoode.yorku.ca).

March 9th Class: Guest Speaker

Angelique Hamilton, a Privacy Officer at a hospital in Hamilton, was to join our class on the 9th. The bad news is that a conflict arose and she is unable to join us. The good news is that we have an excellent substitute. Mr. Peter Lambert, Manager, Access and Privacy at the Markham Stouffville Hospital  will join the class. He was formerly the Privacy Officer for St. Michael's Hospital (TO).

Mind Map Date: Errata

It appears I need to consult the calendar in a less hurried fashion, although I suspect everyone knows the correct date. The mind map is due on Wednesday March 9th, not the 10th as previously indicated in the last post.
