Decided to be a gunner and sent them an email asking about the error.
I just want to know more about classes!

I'm a bit confused by that, as well. But my understanding was the second semester had the elective as an additional class, and so you had 3 classes then 4 classes. Not liking how some of the electives I'd want to take might be barred depending on my section, though.cws277 wrote:Now that the site is working (thanks, gunners!), I'm tremendously confused. I had always assumed that we all took Civ Pro, Contracts, and Torts in the first semester, but the site says everyone takes Civ Pro and Torts, and then we take Contracts OR Con Law OR Property. In the Spring it says the same thing. I know we get randomly assigned to the classes, so my questions can't really do any good, but I'm assuming that we will need to take on of those three classes in our 2L year. Is that right? Might this be a good question for the ask a CLS student thread?
Hm, that is different from how it worked for my class (just finished 1L at CLS, for the record). We all did Civ Pro, Contracts, and Torts in the fall and then Con Law, Property, Crim Law, and an elective in the spring. As long as your information is correct, it sounds like they're changing the 1L schedule for this upcoming year.lunaraeon wrote:I'm a bit confused by that, as well.

I'd heard about the switch to having different third courses for different sections before. But there we go--it should be one of the choices in the fall, then the other two in the winter.Gantor wrote:Hm, that is different from how it worked for my class (just finished 1L at CLS, for the record).

As for regular classes interfering with potential electives, maybe another 2L or 3L can correct me, but I thought that all the mandatory sections and electives were scheduled so that none of the former conflicted with any of the latter. Either there was a gap in the day where no mandatory sections were scheduled and all/most of the electives met or your spring semester section would get switched around to make sure you could fit your chosen elective in. But again, I might be off on that; I just remember not having to worry about or even consider scheduling conflicts when choosing an elective.
While I don't know if your conclusion is right, this is pretty bad LR fail. Ors aren't always exclusive.Monochromatic Oeuvre wrote:Wait what? We're gonna have to take a 1L course during 2L? Someone please explain how that happened.
The non-exclusive ORs is definitely another way to read that - we'll have the other two of those three classes in the spring. I read it in the exclusive way because when the line is used for the fall schedule it is definitely meant exclusively (i.e. we won't have two of those classes in the fall). Still weird that some of us won't have contracts in the fall...philepistemer wrote:While I don't know if your conclusion is right, this is pretty bad LR fail.

It kind of happened before. One or two years ago, each 1L section had Contracts, Civ Pro, and either Torts or Property during the fall. Columbia just plays around with the order of their 1L foundational curriculum.cws277 wrote:Still weird that some of us won't have contracts in the fall...

I have torts, civpro and contracts E&Es sitting on my desk right now cuz that's what I figured I'd need for Fall, and thought I'd have constitution, crim and property Spring. Not being able to plan unnecessarily far ahead is going to bother me.
What is an E&E?Monochromatic Oeuvre wrote:Oh fuck, E&Es already?
I was told I'd have three weeks where I'd be allowed to fuck around on Half.com making sure I have the right ones before shit got real.
I'm hyperventilating again...

Examples & Explanations I think is the correct title. There are supposed to be ones that are super great, like... Glannon? for civ pro. Mainly supporting material for what may/may not be covered in class. (And then there are hornbooks if you want to gun like Clint Eastwood.)txdude45 wrote: What is an E&E?
