Classroom discussion in a classroom supported in a virtual environment requires the active participation of students and the instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. The Class Workshop allows instructors to expand topics and concepts, enriching course readings and intellipath content, thereby helping students gain an understanding of real world applications and creating a framework of context and relevance for course assignments. Together, with the virtual environment, the Class Workshop participation allows students to learn through engagement with faculty and sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and assignments.
\nParticipation in the Class Workshops is a required and graded element of this course.
\nClass Workshop participation requires students to actively engage with the instructor and other students during the entire Class Workshop sessions. This can be achieved by asking or answering questions, sharing examples illustrating the use of the concepts being discussed, participating in constructing equations or solving problems, or explaining the rationale underlying comments or perspectives shared during the discussion.
\nClass Workshop participation requires that the student is visible in the Class Workshop as an Attendee and is actively posting comments during the entire Class Workshop session. Participation will be assessed based on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion.
\nParticipation on the corresponding discussion topics beyond Class Workshop participation is encouraged, but not required. The discussion topics will supplement the weekly Class Workshop sessions.
\nPlease use the Class Workshop to ask questions about course concepts and assignments needing clarification. The instructor may provide additional information based on his or her ongoing monitoring of the class progress on intellipath. Students are encouraged to use it regularly to obtain assistance from the instructor, as well as to benefit from questions raised by other students.
\nAssignment Details
\nYou are an assistant to the special agent in charge (SAC) of the Organized Crime Task Force. The SAC has asked you to go over certain witness-related situations that will be testified to in an upcoming trial. The SAC has concerns about some of the witness testimony and is trying to avoid embarrassment by turning in records that may not be usable by the Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) prosecuting the case.
\nTommy “Two Toes” D\u2019Natalia has a certified public accountant (CPA). He has been using his accountant to wash ill-gotten gains through his racketeering. The SAC has a subpoena for the CPA. D\u2019Natalia is claiming privileged communication with his CPA, and it prohibits the accountant from testifying.

Cardone wants a deal to testify against Slippery Sally.
