The CALI lessons below consist chiefly of hypothetical factual situations designed to reinforce the student's skills in applying the major principles and precepts of property law. The student is expected to determine the correct answers by reasoning from hypothetical facts through the applicable precepts and principles, rather than merely being able to identify the rules that apply. The program responds to student answers by suggesting, in windows on the screen, reasons which make the correct answers correct and the wrong answers incorrect. Use of these programs is even more effective in discussion groups, in which the reasoning can be examined before answering.
