how many courses do we take the first 2 semesters anyway? is legal writing something we take both semesters?

I would like to have some informations after the first round that has just taken place. I find myself in a situation where I'm ninth on the waitinglist for the Negotiation course (with Lynn Cohn). I have several questions for you:

1) If I decide to cancel the course before the second round, can you confirm I will recover all of my points?

2) If I decide not to cancel the course and I am eventually not accepted, what happens with my points? Will they be permanently lost?

3) Do you know if the wait list is updated in real time? Thus, I could see if my place will not modified before cancelling it.

4) Finally, will I necessarily be obliged to bid in the second round? I mean, for Negotiation for example, will I necessarily have to increase my bid? Also, can I bid new courses that I did not bid in the first round?

Thank you in advance.

Arnaud

1) Yes.

2) Yes, lost.

3) I don't believe you'll see it updated until after the next round of bidding.

4) Any new bids won't affect your current position on the wait list. Anyone who bids on a class with a wait list in the second round is automatically put at the end of the list behind the people who were on the wait list from round 1.

In the case of Lynn's Negotiation class, you can be fairly certain that no one will be getting in off the wait list.

Got mine yesterday. If you didn't get yours yet, I'll post something for you. There isn't really any activity on it yet though.
