I have actually rented 90% of my undergraduate books. http://www.campusbookrentals.com is who I would suggest. I had a book that was damaged by the postal service, but called and told them. I was over nighted a new book and not charged for the other. I have never ever had any problems with them.h0peful wrote:anyone have a strong opinion on renting vs. buying books?

I went ahead and bought the Green and Blue books for Legal Research and Writing. (It's cheaper if you buy direct from the publishers).Thanks for the info. Guess we won't know what books we will need for Torts until they officially assign us a professor. I don't have a professor listed for that class on Stanley. Who do you have for LR&W? I have Cooley on Mondays.Paralegalonthemove wrote:Tex, I think we are in the same sections.tex1010 wrote:Has anyone heard any info regarding the orientation schedule?

I'll be renting the rest of my books starting sometime next week or the week after. Depending on when they tell us what books we need for Torts.

Orientation is Friday the 12th and Saturday the 13th. What does orientation cover? It seems like a long time, what all do you do during orientation?Grad_Student wrote:When you get your first reading assignment you'll notice in the book there are only cases...no narrative passages about what the rule is or should be. Rather, it's case after case after case. These cases will lay out the facts, apply a rule and then apply the facts of that case to the rule of law. In recitation, the professor will call on a student to give the facts of the case and the rule of law. He'll ask a few questions of how the court came to their decision, what other cases have held and so forth.Kiwi3891 wrote:What is recitation?
I was reading on ratemyprofessor.com that Kelso does his recitations in alphabetical order. I can almost guarantee 99.9% positive that I would be the first atleast in the part-timers group.
Kelso is easy peasy. He'll ask for the facts and what the court held...that's it. He'll stare at the clock the entire time as well. You'll know when you are coming up.
Good luck.
They just assign roommates and give our intake haircuts.holliebell wrote:Orientation is Friday the 12th and Saturday the 13th. What does orientation cover?

It's dumb. You go, meet people, they swear you in (that's cool), you have a STUPID mock class....read the material, the professor will call on someone and try to embarrass them. Main point is meet some people, go out for drinks and enjoy the first month of school. Be nice to everyone. You'll know these people for the rest of your life and your reputation is the only thing you have. It follows you forever.holliebell wrote:Orientation is Friday the 12th and Saturday the 13th.

In the new student section of STANLEY they go over everything to be covered. "Housekeeping" Difference checks, how to brief cases and even a mock class. I can see where it would take two days.
Is Rock now allowing computers? He didn't use to.rdcws000 wrote:The general rule is that you should not do it without checking with the prof first. Some will allow it, and some won't.
Another good question to ask yourself is whether you really think you will have time to go back and listen to it. I know some students who have recorded review sessions, which I suppose I can understand.
As for laptops, all of my professors so far have allowed laptops (Moore, R. Carlson, Rhodes, Rensberger, Crump, Field, Peters), but there may still be some out there who do not. I think it is safe to say they are the exception.
Yeah we took him right when he came back off a sabattical and I think he told us he had just changed his position on allowing laptops. He wandered around the room behind people though and made it clear he expected the laptops to be tuned into civil procedure and not Facebook. No one really tested him on it.Is Rock now allowing computers? He didn't use to.

it is closer but it's negligible. I parked in both and liked Pavilions better as it was nicer.Kiwi3891 wrote:Does anyone know where the Creme de la Creme Parking is as opposed to Pavillions. Looks like Pavilions parking for students are not the two garages right infront of South Texas building but the building on Main street. Is Creme de la Creme closer?
