Northwestern 1L/2L/3L/Grads Taking Questions and Challenges Forum

[crumpetsandtea]

I don't want grades to come out ever, because I have little hope of them being much of an improvement over fall.

I'm actually more "eager" (for lack of a better word) to hear about journals. wheeeee.

Well prepare to wait another month for journal shit lol

So much grading....

I seriously cannot imagine being a grader for journal comp. I apologize to the poor souls who had to read my POS entry.

1Ls are so cute.

I had to put out of my mind while doing it that the prize, were I successful, would be two years of the same thing over and over.

Pre-emptive scoffing at anyone who put JCLC at number 2.

Journal work is the least rewarding and highly time consuming circle jerk work you'll do in law school. So get excited kiddos

I used the ice cream eating contest analogy to explain the journal competition to my mom. She was horrified.

Entrepreneurship law
Patent Prosecution
Business Planning
Enviro colloquium

I second Entrepeneurship Law, would add...
Advanced Legal Research
Litigation and the Court of Public Opinion

There was no way that was going to happen. Everytime I was told by people in the class what the prof's argument was (group exam = fewer students) I politely nodded and then walked away. That would have caused a shit storm.

yeah, I know...I just wanted to believe...and there's some chance just handing out B+'s indiscriminately will cause a similar shit storm

Yeah. I mean he basically screwed you guys. At least with Horwich you know what's coming.

Wasn't that curved?

[homestyle28]

Wasn't that curved?

It had to be based on #s, but Prof swore he wouldn't do it, final was a group exam, told our group we did A+ work.

edit: did NOT get an A+ (or an A of any variety for that matter)

If they let him do that then tenured profs who hate the curve would have started doing the same thing.

true, and I really didn't think he'd get away with it, but either he or the administration should have told us what was coming. I don't really care in any major way (didn't change my overall gpa much), but would kind of like an explanation...cest la vie I suppose

[rinkrat19]

It's confirmed: I kind of suck at law school. Raised my miserable GPA .035. Which I guess is better than it going down... :-/

[D-hops]

Any grads know when they announce the latin honors?

You really can't bitch about not getting an A or A- in the a curved class.

It's the prof's fault for having such a stupid final in a curved class, but the prof can't uncurve a curved class. Rule are rules.

Yeah, I know professors that have tried, and administration just sends back the grades with a message that they need to follow the mandatory curve.
