4. Can we duplicate the products for our students?
Duplication of the products is a violation of copyright law and is illegal. Some elements of the Critical Languages Series have copy protection.
See the CLS Software License for more information.
5. Can we use the products in the classroom?
We encourage instructors to use the products in the classroom and many Universities and institutions have adopted them. We recommend treating our products as textbooks in the sense that instructors require the students to purchase the materials for a specific class and when the class is over, the student may resell their product to others. That way, students may use the product at home or in the computer lab. Students may print the lessons out to take notes or for classroom discussions.
6. What is your return policy?
The Critical Languages Series products are non-returnable unless the media is defective.
7. Is the entire Critical Languages Series available for online web delivery?
Online delivery of the entire body of courseware is planned for the near future.
8. Is the Critical Languages Series the equivalent of a college course?
Each product is meant to be the equivalent of a 1st year, 2-semester college course.
9. I am a student at the University of Arizona and I purchased a Critical Languages Series CD-ROM; are there any computer labs on campus where I can use it?
You can use it in ML 511 (headphone and microphone are supplied) or ENG 318 (bring your own).
