THIS ASSIGNEMENT NEEDS TO BE DONE TWO separate TIMES TWO STUDENTS ARE TURNING THIS IN SO MAKE SURE THERE ARE TWO ASSIGNMENTS THEY MUST NOT BE THE SAME OR PLAGERIZED FROM ONE ANOTHER OR EVEN AT ALL THIS ASSIGNEMENT NEEDS TO BE DONE TWO separate TIMESTWO STUDENTS ARE TURNING THIS IN SO MAKE SURE THERE ARE TWO ASSIGNMENTS THEY MUST NOT BE THE SAME OR PLAGERIZED FROM ONE ANOTHER OR EVEN AT ALL ContractAnalysis(45 points)Each student is to produce a 4 paragraph paper analyzing a contract. In advance of the paper send, for review by the instructor, a copy of a contract used in everyday life, e.g., insurance, credit card, rental agreement, gym membership, etc. Send this by email. Be creative. It can be a blank contract. Several websites offer free form contracts. There are also contracts in Canvas under Contracts Module. The copy of the contract must be turned in with the paper unless you are using one that is in Canvas. In that case, merely reference the title of the contract in your report. A URL is not a substitute. It will count as if no contract was attached. Please make sure any confidential data has been deleted or blacked out. A four paragraph typed analysis of the contract must be submitted which discusses any three legal concepts in the contract that were covered in the text. The student is to submit an analysis of legal concepts and not a filled-in contract.The first paragraph is to be a summary of the entire contract. Please note that I said a summary – which means an overview of the contract and not a detailed description. Your summary paragraph should not be much longer than each of the 3 other paragraphs. I’m looking for an overview of the contract and not what each section is about.The other three paragraphs are to be used to discuss and analyze three different clauses in the contract (one per paragraph) and how they relate to the textbook and other course material. Be sure and indicate which paragraph in the contract you are discussing, e.g., #1 of the contract talks about x, y, and z.I am looking for an analysis of how each clause relates to the class material. Little or no analysis will result in point deductions. Summarizing the clause is not an analysis. Show me that you understand how this clause functions in the “real world”. I want to see that you understand the legal consequences of each clause you are discussing and not just paraphrasing the contract wording. Hypothetical examples are an easy way of showing this. You must also refer by page or chapter to the part(s) of the text you are using. It is not sufficient to say “according to the text” or something similar. Additionally, do not reference other textbooks. I don’t have access to them so I can’t verify the reference. If you don’t have a text, there is one on reserve in the library. I don’t mind if you use the 7th edition but say so as I waste time looking through all texts to see which one a student used. That will bring about a point(s) deduction.There is an example of an analysis clause written by a student in the Contracts Module.What Not To Put in Your Contract Report Discussing the formation of a contract is not acceptable. In other words, Express/Implied Contracts, Offer; Acceptance; Consideration; Bilateral; etc., are not clauses in most contracts. Do Not Talk About Offer, Acceptance and Consideration.Don’t talk about an express contract. If you are unsure, then ask me via email. Most contracts don’t say, “This is an express contract”. If your contract is in writing IT’S AN EXPRESS CONTRACT! It is probably a bilateral contract as well. You will receive no extra points if you state this. If you use any of these concepts as the legal concept in your analysis and, the legal concept isn’t the subject of that clause, you will receive no points for that clause. Each clause is worth 12 points so that’s a huge loss of points. PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THIS. DO NOT TALK ABOUT CONTRACT FORMATION OR THE TYPE OF CONTRACT. IF YOU ARE WRONG, THERE WILL BE A POINT DEDUCTION AND THERE IS NOTHING TO BE GAINED BY INCLUDING IT.If you are using a rental or lease agreement for real property, at least one clause must be from outside of the chapter titled “Landlord and Tenant. If all three of your clauses rely on that chapter, there will be an automatic 11 point deduction. Please email me if you are unsure of your clauses. Many students using rental agreements use the “Rent” and “Term of the Lease” clauses for their analysis. These are fine but generally there isn’t much to analyze so the result is a shallow analysis and minimal points.Please remember, agreements for real property or services do not follow the UCC. So, if using an agreement for real property or services, do not discuss any of those UCC chapters .Students in online classes often miss the easiest clause to talk about – ADR or Arbitration as it doesn’t have extensive coverage in the text. However, it is critical in the business world. Additionally, most contracts have “boiler plate” clauses towards the end. These clauses are the easiest to use as the text generally has good information on them as well as examples. If you are using an example from the text, be sure to reference that. It is strongly advised to have your contract chosen before mid-term and reviewed by me, the instructor, shortly after that. I will also be happy to review and make any comments on your rough draft if submitted to me a minimum of 48 hours before the due date. If I review your rough draft and suggest changes, subsequent requests for review are welcomed but must include the previously suggested changes.Spelling and grammar are part of the grading and deductions will be taken if there are errors in these areas. The Writing Center on campus is free to all Cuyamaca students but you will need an appointment. There are also online tutors. I take into account the difficulty of the subject matter you have attempted. It is easy to talk about “termination” of a contract. It is more complex to talk about “subrogation” or “risk of loss”. Be sure that you are not talking about the UCC when dealing with a contract for real property, services, e-contracts, etc.Here is how the grading rubric breaks down: Summary paragraph , 5 points; Clause 1, 2 and 3, 12 points each with a further breakdown for each clause of 3 points for correctly identifying a concept, 3 points for defining it, 1 point for referencing it to the text, and 5 points for the analysis; Contract attached if not from Canvas , 1 point; and, 8 points for spelling and grammar.You can see that a long summary paragraph will not make up for an inadequate analysis. This assignment may not be turned in after its due date nor may it be re-.done. You have most of the class to work on this assignment. If turned in late with prior permission from the instructor(s), the assignment will have a 20% penalty point deduction per 24 hour period it is late

otherwise shall be construed to be cumulative, and no one of the them shall be exclusive of
any other or of any right or remedy allowed by law.
