What are CANS?
CANS is an acronym for Condensed Annotated NoteS. These are documents created by students for each particular course, and are generally a summary of lecture notes and readings.
Cans are intended to summarize and list the entire body of course information - everything you need to know. Unfortunately, this is never the case. Each Can depends on the understanding, effort, and knowledge of its author. Not only do courses change, but most Cans have an error or ten somewhere, and have material omitted.
In short, Cans are a useful and helpful tool. But if you're depending on them alone, and not going to class, participating, and doing your readings - well, you may be in real trouble during exams.
Can I trust the CANS on this website?
The CANS provided to the LSS for use on this website have been generously provided by a number of students willing to share their work. The quality of each submitted set of CANS is not guaranteed and they are provided on an "as-is" basis. Professors have been known to alter their course content and interpretations of the law may also change, but, for the most part, these CANS may provide a valuable starting-point for your own personal studies. If you use with due caution, these CANS can be a very useful tool.
