Really dumb question: Can you bring supplements into Exams?
IE: E&E, etc if the exam is open book?
I know you shdn't be referring to anything most times, and you shd have everything memorized; but i'm just curious if its allowed.

Thanks; I only ask because for Civ Pro, I'm thinking of not making an outline to study from, just reading the E and E over and over again, and making like a 3 page attack outline; Having the e and e there will really help my peace of mind.
Oh, also i'm using Acing Civ Pro, so if I can bring that in too that would also help a ton.

180. One of our profs is only letting us take in things we've created. Most of mine don't care if you bring in supps -- you won't have time to really look at them anyway.

Email your prof. Some specifically are not okay with commercial outlines.

Civ Pro was my only closed-book exam my 1L fall.
Think about that for a minute.

That's horrible. I am so sorry. Yuck.
For my torts class, it's any outlining materials that we have created ourselves (no old outlines, commercial/otherwise) + our book. For crim, it's whatever we want, but the other class in our section gets whatever they can handwrite in their casebook. For Civ Pro, it's at least our outline (thank god), but I don't think we can bring anything else.
Edit: point being, DEFINITELY check with your prof asap if you haven't made an outline yet.

If you plan on taking anything in be sure to tab it for easy reference. However, you are not going to have time to be thumbing through E&E. All you are going to have time to use is your attack outline.

Statements like this make me wish tls had a puke smiley like skype does. If I had this I'm pretty sure I'd throw up out of anxiety.

This close to finals, you should be able to find out the exam format.

I'm not sure why everyone is reacting like this. Half of my 1L exams were closed book (including civ pro). I actually prefer closed-book exams.AVBucks4239 wrote:vanwinkle wrote:Civ Pro was my only closed-book exam my 1L fall.

If you have to bring a supp into an exam you are destined for median (or below).

He said he just wants it for peace of mind. No one in their right mind would rely on a supp on an exam... If you do, I'd say you are destined for worse than median.

Same here, but I don't think it matters either way. You have to have everything down cold no matter how your test is administered.

It's not the fact that it's closed book. Half of my finals are closed book as well.
However, in my admittedly novice opinion, the other substantive courses (property, torts, and contracts) require sophisticated application of basic doctrine. CivPro, meanwhile, is sophisticated application of very detailed and exception-oriented doctrine. There's a huge difference.

Re: Really dumb question: Can you bring supplements into Exams?
I don't really agree with this. There are intricacies in every 1L class. Maybe I have a skewed perspective or something but I did not find closed-book civpro to be any harder than the other closed book exams I had.AVBucks4239 wrote:quiver wrote:I'm not sure why everyone is reacting like this.
