I haven't heard of a single person failing this past year, but it may have happened.

That's absolutely not true. There's actually quite a mix of race and cultural backgrounds from what I've seen so far.

Nah, just logged on to facebook for the first time in a long while, haven't joined either of the groups, so I was just stalking the profile pictures. I'm happy to be wrong though.OtterLaw wrote:That's absolutely not true. There's actually quite a mix of race and cultural backgrounds from what I've seen so far.

Don't get suckered into the pavilion. I dodged that bullet but everyone I know who didn't regrets their choice.redsxfan2010 wrote:It won't be a dungeon.

I asked the leasing office for a photo of the room before I sign my lease, but they won't send me anything besides a floor plan. I just want to know if I'm signing up for a dungeon before I have to fork over a bunch of cash!

I actually ordered from Ikea. It was like a $99 delivery fee.thebrownnote wrote:Figured I'd revive this somewhat moribund thread with a question:
Where are people getting furniture? I sold all my stuff on the other side of the country, and the nearest Ikea is nearly 2 hours away.
I was firmly in the first category too: every moment spent on LRW was a moment that could have been spent on substantive courses and/or drinking.

While the effort needed to pass pretty minimal compared to, say, the effort that would be needed to produce product that I would be willing to show anyone that mattered, the sad truth is that the big assignments are still decently time consuming. Students here tend to fall into two categories: Either you think that every moment spent on LRW is a moment wasted or you believe that it is the most valuable class of your 1L year. I fall into the first category so I cannot explain why anyone would fall into the second.
Want to echo this - put forth a minimum good-faith effort and have fun with the oral argument.thesealocust wrote:I was firmly in the first category too: every moment spent on LRW was a moment that could have been spent on substantive courses and/or drinking.

For one of our first assignments that went to the TA for feedback, my feedback was along the lines of "please promise me you will never submit anything like this to a professor or employer"
LRW is an annoying time-sink though, and if you "fail" you do have to take some remedial LRW course second year or something, so that's definitely worth avoiding.
The deadline for professors to submit grades is January 20th. Some grades have started to trickle out I've heard.uncledog wrote:Happy new year, everyone!
After being stricken by some sort of plague at the beginning of 2017, there're only so many activities that I can use to distract myself from the nagging question about the grades.
Does anyone know when the deadline 1L grades is?
