I must say that I have had this thought many times. Often when reading journal articles that cover cyberlaw issues, there will be several pages of prefatory information that is probably redundant to the vast majority of readers. Although most authors cannot accurately predict their audience, this is not so in the classroom. In my opinion, cyberlaw is an advanced topic. It deals with compound issues covering technology and law. If the basic (and necessary) information that is needed to progress through the semester is outlined by the professor, perspective students would know what prerequisite information will be demanded from them. To effectuate this, the professor could post a multiple choice exam (taken from any network certification program) and perspective students would (or could) have to pass that exam to take the class. But to have a “Intro to Tech 01” course run along the mish-mosh of more advance issues, is similar to have a bio-chemistry class running along a patent course. Three years are just too short.
