Yup first semester you'll get thrown into a section and your entire schedule will be predetermined. Second semester, you can pick two classes. You'll be given points and then like the history of bidding for each professor/course so you can gauge how much you think the course will go for. I wouldn't worry too much about the process they will really hammer it home for you once you get there.

Thoughts on restructuring with Francis?

I liked it. He's a pretty chill grader (But not great) if it isn't curved. Hard exam though.

One looks at a course's enrollment, sees already 40 enrolled, clicks to enroll anyway.

Why . . .

Because sometimes people drop classes and there's always a chance (with some classes) that it ends up below 40.

Personally, I'm registered for 5 classes and I'll be dropping 2 of them. One is currently over 40.

Class is capped at 40 so no curve.

Are grades supposed to come out this week or next?

I'm pretty sure it's a week from Friday (the Friday at the close of our first week of the second semester). One of my professors said as much, and that's what it was last year.

I got an email (clinic-related) mentioning that grades are due Jan 16.

Sup thread. I'm gonna be a visiting student for my last 3LOL semester at NU. Finally can register for classes today.

Are there any upper classes you guys recommend or ones I should stay away from. I'm interested in corporate stuff, but I'd rather coast in a boring class than work hard in an interesting class. I'll be taking all classes P/F fwiw.

Is it true that an uncurved class=better grades? Or is that only true some the well-known easy graders?

Is Riskin teaching anything this semester?

Any outlines available for Labor Law (Crystal)? I've already checked the outline banks. Thanks

I thought he was great - brings a big picture perspective from someone with tons of experience. Not too much prep for class, but the 48 hour final is tough. He seems to be a pretty generous grader if the class is uncurved/will likely max the curve in a curved class.

tigress12 · Post by **tigress12** » Sun Jan 11, 2015 7:39 pm

International Law with D'Amato? I've heard some vaguely bad things-- how bad of an idea is it to take this class?

American Legal History with Presser- seems like it's going to be curved, any opinions on if it's worth taking?

Also has anyone taken IP or Trusts and Estates?
