The instructor is the exclusive owner of the copyright in those materials he creates. Students may take notes and make copies of course materials for their own use. They may also share those materials with another student who is enrolled in or auditing this course. Students may not reproduce, distribute or display (post/upload) lecture notes or recordings or course materials in any other way--whether or not a fee is charged--without the instructor's express prior written consent.

• Similarly, students own the copyright in their own original papers and other writing. If the instructor is interested in posting a student's materials on the course website or elsewhere, the instructor will ask for the student's written permission.
