oh didn't realize they charged haha, how much?TripTrip wrote:Tons of people do this. They don't care because $$.Fred012 wrote:so, can someone be in both fedsoc and acs for the outlines/exam banks
I don't think they charge money. If they do, the membership is cheap (I think <$10?).TripTrip wrote:Tons of people do this. They don't care because $$.Fred012 wrote:so, can someone be in both fedsoc and acs for the outlines/exam banks

If only there were some unaffiliated outline bank that was completely open to 1Ls.
Just in case any of the 1L's haven't seen the WLA bank:TheMostDangerousLG wrote:<3TripTrip wrote:ACS is $10. FedSoc is $5.

Second this question. What happened?euskadi wrote:Does anyone know what happened to beatthecoop.com? If it has a different URL or (much more likely) it has vanished? My thanks in advance!
Amazing, thank you. Different format but looks just as thorough so must be the same thing: http://hlsdope.org/outlinesNoLongerALurker wrote:I thought beathecoop was pretty much fully absorbed into hlsdope -- or maybe they're totally unafilliated, I dunno.
Indeed, all BTC outlines are on HLS Dope.despina wrote:Amazing, thank you.

They are there because HLS Dope mined BTC (with BTC's after-the-fact approval). BTC is not affiliated with HLS Dope.TripTrip wrote:Indeed, all BTC outlines are on HLS Dope.despina wrote:Amazing, thank you.

Can confirm. HLS Dope is just one guy, and is not the same person as the BTC/Owlr duo. He also apparently talks about himself in the third person.tomwatts wrote:BTC is not affiliated with HLS Dope.

in that case any idea which group has more resources and is more commitment friendly for 1Ls?MyNameIsFlynn! wrote:I don't think they charge money.

In either case, you'll find that getting access to outlines is not as easy as just signing up. FedSoc has gradually tightened their requirements and only gives outline bank access to members who are active in FedSoc and/or involved in JLPP, and I think ACS is moving in the same direction (although not 100% sure of this). I mention this as a warning in case you were thinking you could just get outlines access at the end of the semester -- not quite that simple. Perhaps someone else more familiar with the respective ACS and FedSoc requirements can speak to them.
Fred have you met any gunners yet?

Yes, that's exactly what outlining is, and you shouldn't / needn't do it now. You haven't had enough class yet to be able to meaningfully condense and synthesize, so of course if you're trying to do it already you'll be terrible at it!TheMostDangerousLG wrote:Any tips for how I can synthesize my book highlighting and class notes into the sort of thing that'd be useful for exams? Is that what people do when they create outlines...? Yeah, I'm already the worst at this.
Yes, all the lockers are in the basement of the WCC or in the tunnel that's connected to the basement of the WCC. You can get into the WCC 24/7. Off hours, you just have to use your keycard. Annoyingly, many of the other buildings, Austin included, don't let you buzz in off hours (and some do on weekdays but not on weekends), so you may need to walk all the way to the WCC and back via the tunnels depending on where your locker is.lawlorbust wrote:do we have 24/7 access to lockers? i'm hoping to use mine to store my gym stuff, and pick stuff up 6-7 am ish just when the gym opens.
is this possible?
I outlined pretty early, and I didn't start until the beginning of October. There is no conceivable way it is sensible to outline after 1-2 weeks of class. Wait until you have some idea what you're learning and how it fits together before you even think about this.TheMostDangerousLG wrote:Any tips for how I can synthesize my book highlighting and class notes into the sort of thing that'd be useful for exams?
