Real Estate Law
Course Objectives
Build a strong knowledge base as you discover how legal concepts are put into practice every day.
Learn to identify key words and phrases and define them on the spot.
Learn worded descriptions of real property
Outline of Instruction
Lesson 1 - The Law of Property
If you've ever considered becoming a real estate broker, buying or selling a home, investing in real estate, or getting into real estate law, this is the course for you! In Lesson 1, you'll learn about the key differences between real and personal property, as well as some of the unique characteristics of land. You'll also get an overview of all the varied classifications of real property-you may be surprised by all the possibilities!
Lesson 2 - All About Estates
If you own property, does that mean you can do anything you like with it? In today's lesson, you'll learn about what kinds of titles carry which kinds of rights. There's one type of title you'll want above all others, and you need to know about it long before you ever think about buying any real estate. We'll also look at what happens when two or more people own property together. This can get complicated, so we'll untangle who has the right to do what
Lesson 3 - The Importance of Property Boundaries
Most people don't know anything about property boundaries . . . until they're unpleasantly surprised by someone knocking down their back fence. In this lesson, you'll discover how to read and understand the different types of property descriptions, how to avoid disputes about them, and how to make this inside knowledge work for you
Lesson 4 - Sales and Foreclosures
In this lesson, you'll learn about the basic contract requirements involved in selling property. Don't worry, though-it's not just dry theory! I'll also introduce you to the typical people involved in a sale and walk you through the usual procedures. Then we'll dive into a topic many people regard as a potential gold mine: foreclosures. We'll straighten out some common misconceptions and see just what's involved in bidding on foreclosed property
Lesson 5 - Fixtures, Easements, Licenses, and Liens
When you sell property, what items can you take with you and what must remain? This issue involves the law of fixtures, and most buyers and sellers don't know anything about it. But you will! You'll learn how and why a seller can remove a refrigerator but not the antique doorknobs. We'll also look at the important issue of easements, which give a non-owner the right to use part of someone else's land. Both of these topics are absolutely essential for anyone considering buying or selling real estate
Lesson 6 - What You Need to Know About Contracts
In this lesson, we'll track the negotiations that go on when you buy and sell real estate. You'll learn what a contract actually does, and you'll explore two of the most common real estate contracts: the "listing agreement" and the "offer to purchase and contract of sale." Then we'll follow a sale from the posting of the For Sale sign to the offers, counteroffers, rejections, and finally to the acceptance
Lesson 7 - Landlord-Tenant Law
If you've ever been a tenant or plan to become a landlord, then you should pay particular attention to this lesson. Here we'll examine landlord-tenant law, exploring what rights and obligations each has to the other. You'll see when and how a landlord can evict a tenant and how tenants can protect themselves. And we'll walk step-by-step through the terms of a typical lease
Lesson 8 - The Ins and Outs of Deeds
Anyone who plans on owning real estate must know about deeds. A deed simply transfers ownership rights, but if you've ever tried to read one, you know just how confusing they can be. In this lesson, we'll decipher all the parts of the deed, clarifying what each clause means and how each part impacts your ownership rights. We'll also discuss ways to make sure the owner transfers all of his or her legal rights in the property to you.
Lesson 9 - Demystifying Mortgages
Mortgages can be just as confusing as deeds! So in this lesson, we'll demystify them by discussing what a mortgage is, what "prequalification" and "preapproval" are, and what lenders look for before entering into a mortgage with a borrower (especially credit issues). You'll also see what types of mortgages you can choose from and understand the good and bad points of each.
Lesson 10 - What Happens at the Closing?
Real estate closings often seem overwhelming. So many papers are flying around, and if you're the buyer, you're signing things without really knowing what they are. And then there's the whole issue of closing costs, which can add several thousand dollars to the sale. In this lesson, you'll meet the people involved in a typical closing, see what documents the closing professional needs, learn about the ones a buyer must sign, and what the costs are and where they come from. By the time you finish this lesson, you'll feel much more comfortable with this process!
Lesson 11 - Zoning and Restrictive Covenants
Who creates zoning rules and how? What can a zoning ordinance regulate? How are they enforced? If you need to get around one, can you? These are just some of the questions you'll find answers to in this lesson. We'll also take a look at an area of law most people don't know about-but it can have a huge impact on all types of property owners. That's restrictive covenants. Last, you'll learn what kind of action you can take if your neighbor becomes a big nuisance.
Lesson 12 - Real Estate Professions
In our final lesson, we'll survey the various types of professions tied to real estate. If you're interested in becoming a real estate agent, you'll learn about the process here. We'll also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of real estate investing to help you decide if this is something you'd like to do. And we'll finish up by profiling other careers, such as surveyors, real estate paralegals, appraisers, inspectors, and more

Project Management Applications
Course Objectives
Understand the stages of team development, and you'll gain skills in developing and motivating team leaders.
Learn how to understand and relate to an organizational culture and the differing characteristics of its work groups.
Learn about project software, statistics, change management, processes, and estimating.
Outline of Instruction
Wednesday - Lesson 01
In our first lesson, you'll learn how to use a variety of project management data collection tools including check sheets, histograms, performance charts, and process definition tools such as work breakdown structure (WBS) and flowcharts. After you master these tools, you'll be able to increase your project management effectiveness by leaps and bounds.
Friday - Lesson 02
Estimating is a very important activity for every organization. It helps you calculate time and costs for your project. When you successfully use estimates, your actual cost of project work is very close to your projections. In today's lesson, you'll learn how to apply quantitative and qualitative estimating methods, such as historical analogy, the walk through and Delphi methods, expected value, and estimates under uncertainty.
Wednesday - Lesson 03
Earned value is gaining in popularity in project management circles. Although some people view it as a new concept, they're often surprised to learn that it's been around for more than 30 years. In today's lesson, I'll define earned value, describe its history, and discuss its benefits. You'll learn about the graphical and mathematical overview of earned value, and discover how to create a step-by-step earned value performance measurement (EVPM) system.
Friday - Lesson 04
Gantt charts, along with work breakdown structure (WBS), earned value performance measurement (EVPM), and the precedence diagram method (PDM), make up the big four of project management. A Gantt chart may be the most popular tool associated with project management because it's an easy to follow timeline chart. In today's lesson, you'll learn about the history of Gantt charts, find out how to create one, and discover their benefits and limitations.
Wednesday - Lesson 05
Network scheduling, along with earned value, represents one of the most technical aspects of project management. If you enjoy working with charts and numbers, this lesson is right up your alley! As with earned value, the precedence diagram method (PDM) includes a fair amount of terminology and a little bit of tricky math. Today you'll learn the basics of networks and see how they relate to project management. You'll discover activity-on-arc (AOA) and activity-on-node (AON) network scheduling methods and understand how to use task dependencies, dummy activities, and float time.
Friday - Lesson 06
In today's lesson, we'll take a break from using calculators and studying elaborate models. You'll learn how resource planning, work flow diagrams, and storyboards can help you create and implement an effective project plan. I'll also show you how to define and implement a project change control system and to how control project costs.
Wednesday - Lesson 07
Today, we'll discuss a few more tools to help you with your projects. We'll begin with cost-volume analysis, a tool to help you optimize choices using costs, volume, and desired profits. We'll move on to Monte Carlo simulation, a sophisticated tool you can use when you deal with completely random conditions. You'll learn how to use force field analysis, a tool that helps you evaluate a decision based on pros and cons, and apply the Pareto principle, a 200-year-old concept that helps you to focus on what's important.
Friday - Lesson 08
I believe that too many people in the project management field place too high of an emphasis on the role of project management software. While it has an important role to play as a tool, software is not a substitute for sound planning, effective implementation and control, and positive leadership. In today's lesson, I'll discuss the nature of project management software and help you identify winning techniques and processes. You'll read two case studies to help you understand issues pertaining to software implementation. You'll learn why some people are reluctant to use project management software, and discover ways to evaluate and select a software supplier.
Wednesday - Lesson 09
Many project managers and team members struggle to improve their projects' output. Despite their best efforts to improve customer satisfaction, project personnel are often unable to make much progress. The best way to succeed is to use statistics and a data-driven approach to characterize and improve your projects. Today, you'll learn about the measures of location (median, mode, and mean), the normal curve, and measures of dispersion (range, mean absolute deviation, variance, and standard deviation). You'll see how the Taguchi loss function is an alternative to traditional go/no-go inspection. You'll also learn how to measure variation, use prevention, and apply statistical process control (SPC) to help you produce predictable and acceptable results.
Friday - Lesson 10
Today, we'll discuss the dimensions of the project team. For your project to succeed, you need a skilled project manager and committed capable project team members. You'll learn how to identify essential competencies of an effective project manager, and how to establish a winning project team. You'll understand what it takes to recruit, evaluate, and select project team members. And you'll also learn about the concepts of a core team, extended team, and the overly important project team.
Wednesday - Lesson 11
I believe a potent combination of a high-functioning project team and a capable project manager is essential for your success in project management. Effective project teams come together through careful planning and action. In today's lesson, we'll discuss work group theory, contrast formal and informal work groups, and identify informal work group characteristics. You'll learn about the stages of team development, understand why change is so important for your project, and find out why people are reluctant to change. You'll learn how to overcome resistance to change and empower your project team.
Friday - Lesson 12
Today, we'll discuss fundamental organizational concepts. You'll discover the purpose of an organization chart and learn why a matrix organization is a common project management organizational structure. You'll understand key coordinating principles such as authority, responsibility, accountability, and power. And you'll gain insights into organizational culture by developing a deeper understanding of values and beliefs, the elements of successful delegation, and various theories of motivation and leadership.

Outline of Instruction
Wednesday - Lesson 01
What's the big hurry? Don't be kept in the dark about why you're required to manage your project at such a fast pace. In this lesson, you'll learn the reasons. Then you'll be in the driver's seat and ready to focus on running a successful project.

In this lesson, we'll look at Factor 1: The team. The project team members are the keys to your success. You'll learn techniques to motivate and keep a team focused while working at high speed.
Friday - Lesson 04
This lesson is all about Factor 2: Time vs. Money. We'll look at actual case studies to illustrate new ways of adjusting project speed and increasing overall productivity.
Wednesday - Lesson 05
This lesson addresses Factor 3: Risk. Managing risk at the speed of light is not for the fainthearted, but it can work to the advantage of the well-prepared manager. In this lesson, we'll explore the risks that are most prevalent and learn how to plan for them when and if they occur.
Friday - Lesson 06
In this lesson, you'll learn the first five steps of fast-track planning. Quickly creating a comprehensive project plan is crucial to staying on target. We'll look at ways to abbreviate the process from developing a scope statement to finalizing the project team.
Wednesday - Lesson 07
Today's lesson continues the planning process by addressing when and if you should use network diagrams and critical path analysis. You'll learn how to estimate time and costs that are in sync with an e-speed project. And we'll review the pros and cons of the critical chain management theory.
Friday - Lesson 08
We'll continue the planning process in this lesson. Here, you'll look at templates and real-world examples that will demonstrate how to speed up the development of plans for project procurement, quality management, and risk management.

You'll examine templates and real-life examples for rapid development of change control plans, communication and management plans, and the final project plan. You'll also learn the importance of obtaining plan approval sign-off and when and why to use a kickoff meeting.
Friday - Lesson 10
In this lesson, you'll see that the project plan is finalized and primed to provide a roadmap and navigational aides for the e-speed project. You'll learn how to allocate time and effort to achieve the greatest advantages for the project. We'll pay special attention to applying the best practices for managing tasks, quality assurance, team development and verification, and progress meetings.
Wednesday - Lesson 11
Projects developed at e-speed require strict processes for managing changes in performance, scope, quality, risk, schedule and cost. In this lesson, we'll take a close look at the value of management toolkits that are simplified and easy to use.
Friday - Lesson 12
The project is not over until you cross the finish line and throw all the shutdown switches. This lesson is designed to walk you through the final seven steps to end the project on a positive and professional note.
