Tips for reading a EULA:

When reading a book, you read from the beginning to the end without skipping. Because there is so much complicated information in a EULA, you should use a different approach to avoid becoming overwhelmed.

First, scroll quickly over the whole document, reading the section headings only. Try to identify one or two section headings that you are interested in, or may already know something about. For example, "Registration and Account Security" may be more relevant to you than "Special Provisions Applicable to Developers/Operators of Applications and Websites" You can skip sections that you think may not apply to you, and just focus on particular sections.

Once you have decided on a section, just read the whole section first to try to get an overview. Don't get stuck on words you don't understand.

-After deciding on a EULA, choose three sections of the EULA to focus on. For each section, answer these questions:

1. How does this section apply to you?
2. Does reading this section change your future use of this product?
3. Why or why not?

-After completing your document, ask a classmate to proofread it, then type their name at the bottom, like this: "Proofread by Jim Fallor"

-Save, and attach to a professional email to teacherlatorre@gmail.com with the subject line "EULA"
