Business Classes
Business Law - First Period
"Okay, gang," Lorelai says, in an incredibly happy mood. "Today and Thursday we're going to learn about Torts and next Tuesday is your mid term exam. I'll have office hours on Thursday if you need to go over anything or have any concerns, okay?"
In the common law, a tort is a civil wrong, other than a breach of contract, for which the law provides a remedy. The origins of the modern law of torts lie in the old remedies of trespass and trespass on the case. The term itself comes from Law French and means, literally, "a wrong". In the French language, the phrase avoir tort translates to "to be wrong". The equivalent body of law in civil law legal systems is delict.
A tort is a breach of a non-contractual duty potentially owed to the entire world, imposed by law. The majority of legal claims are brought in tort.
In general
Tort law is distinguished from the law of contract, the law of restitution, the law of equity and the criminal law. Contract law protects expectations arising from promises, restitution prevents unjust enrichment, equity seeks to ensure that people act properly in certain circumstances and criminal law punishes wrongs that are so severe (like murder) that the state has a direct interest in preventing them. Note that many wrongs can result in liability to both the state (as crimes) and to the victim (as torts).
Tort law serves to protect a person's interest in his or her bodily security, tangible property, financial resources, or reputation. Interference with one of these interests is redressable by an action for compensation, usually in the form of unliquidated damages. The law of torts therefore aims to restore the injured person to the position he or she was in before the tort was committed (the expectation or rightful position principle).
In most countries, torts are typically divided into three broad categories: intentional torts, negligence and nuisance. Additional categories or subcategories are recognized in some countries. Some torts are strict liability torts, in that the plaintiff may recover by showing only that the wrong took place, and that the defendant committed the wrong — there is no need to show the defendant's state of mind or that the defendant breached a duty of due care.
Definition of a tort
In his famous treatise, Handbook of the Law of Torts, William Prosser defined "tort" as "a term applied to a miscellaneous and more or less unconnected group of civil wrongs other than breach of contract for which a court of law will afford a remedy in the form of an action for damages."
Besides damages, in a limited range of cases, tort law will tolerate self-help, for example, using reasonable force to expel a trespasser. Further, in the case of a continuing tort, or even where harm is merely threatened, the courts will sometimes grant an injunction to restrain the continuance or threat of harm.
Purposes of torts
The law of torts determines whether a loss that befalls one person should or should not be shifted to another person. Some of the consequences of injury or death, such as medical expenses incurred, can be made good by payment of damages. Damages may also be paid, for want of a better means of compensation, for non-pecuniary consequences, such as pain.
In "The Aims of the Law of Tort" (1951) Glanville Williams saw four possible bases on which different torts rested: appeasement, justice, deterrence and compensation. The law tends to emphasize different aims in relation to intentional torts from those in relation to negligence or strict liability. After Williams' article, there grew a school of economic analysts of law who emphasized incentives and deterrence.

Human Resource Management - Sixth Period
"We're going to learn about training & development this week and next Tuesday is your midterm, guys. I'll have office hours Thursday if anyone has any questions or problems."
Employee development is the strategic investment, by an organization, in the training of its members.
Phases in employee development
New hire orientation
Professional Development
Coaching
Mentoring
Performance appraisal
Professional development refers to vocational education with specific reference to continuing education of the person undertaking it in the area of employment, it may also provide opportunities for other career paths.
Vocational education has been related to specific skills, usually tied to immediency of getting or retaining employment. Professional development has been as moving beyond that.
Generic professional development may be oriented to generic life skills or general personal coaching.
More specifically professional development encompasses the developing of skills relevant to the one's current occupation, for example, leadership training for managers and training for specific techniques or equipment for technicians, metal workers, medical practitioners and engineers.
For many occupations there is a provision for accreditation tied to "continuing professional education" and proving competence.
