Ahahaha I did NOT get that. Don't worry, I would shut up faster than a girl in math class.

I think it's because I used "don't" instead of "do not" and I should have only bolded "not". The inflection was all wrong.

Is there like "spanish for the lawyering profession" or something because I'm gonna go the PI/PD route and my spanish has fallen off since UG. How does that work?

You can take languages at the general university. I don't think you can get credit for it though.

I bet they make you pay for it.

Oh, that would be great. Thanks.

I really wish they had like job-specific language classes though, don't you? Like, UG language classes are so annoying. If I have to do any more presentations on surrealist spanish film I'm going to end myself

I didn't want this gem to go unquoted.

Oh god I didn't think of that. I was just thinking I could sit in the back, learn, do none of the homework and take none of the tests. They wouldn't make us take exams and stuff would they?

I'm not going to get upset about this because it is totally something Jack Donaghy/Alec Baldwin would say

Conventional wisdom would indicate that learning involves doing homework and taking tests so idk.

But we as law students, voluntarily using our time to go to a UG language course, will have demonstrated an intrinsic motivation to learn the language by simply being there. Not being able to accept an additional workload is just a matter practicality. I certainly hope they'd exempt us from the hw and tests.

Edit: oh god the number of times I've taken a verbal beat down at a level no less intense than a witch hunt when I say, sarcastically, something donaghy would say and it gets overheard out of context. He is a dangerous man to quote in public.

If you're not paying for it, then it's probably an audit, not a for-credit class, which means that you would be exempt from homework/tests. Actually, when you audit, the professors have no obligation to grade any of your work, so even if you wanted to take the tests and write papers, it would be up to them if they felt like grading it.

I would definitely want homework and tests because the pressure would make me learn (and I wouldn't anticipate taking these classes until 2L/3L anyway so the pressure wouldn't be that insane) and I would imagine that UG language course professors might be kind of pissed if there were a bunch of kids taking up space in class and not participating in any way, since enrollment in language classes is capped, first of all, and the classes themselves are all about participation and presentations, at least all the Spanish classes I took at Columbia during UG were anyway. So I would much rather be in a class that was designed for someone in law school that wouldn't waste my time with theoretical discussions about culture and/or vocab about going to the beach and shit.

You're right though re: demonstrated motivation to learn should mean we don't have to do bullshit homework

Can anyone tell me what the easy classes are? I'm trying to figure out how to mix a little fluff into my first semester schedule for next year but course reviews for every class always say there was "too much reading."

[Tekrul]

For those of you considering takes courses in the university, and because there was language courses talk:

http://www.culpa.info/

Unfortunately nothing under there for law, tiago splitter. It seems no law students use this site, but essentially every undergrad division does.

+1. I feel like I should just email every 2L/3L I know and ask them what the easy classes are.

[Tekrul]

If everyone started using the culpa directory I linked, we'd have a solid course review site. I kind of assumed the law school had it's own version of this since this site's law category has like 1 review.
