Also, for Monday, orientation starts at 8:30am, anybody know if this lasts all morning? I know we have another block from 2:30-5:00pm.
Section C has class from 2:30-5 this Monday?

It's odd that section C has a half-hour class longer than the section I'm in. Section A has class from 2:30-4:30 on Monday and our orientation start's at 8:30 too.
Yup and Tues-Thurs we have two classes, 1st is from 10:30-12:30, 2nd is from 2:00-4:30, what about you?

We also seem to have more books than the other 2 sections.

Anyone on here taking Pepper for writing? On UIS, the site says that we need the 6th edition of the Hacker book. On the TWEN website under "materials", the book list says that we need the 8th edition. Anyone know which one we need? I already bought the 6th edition a while ago and I would like to know if I need to get the 8th edition now... Thanks a lot.

Saturday, August 27 Drop/Add deadline. After this date, approval from Dean Cunningham is required.
Monday, August 29 Entering students begin all other 1L courses

What do we do between 8/14 and 8/29, if we don't start our classes until the 29th? Is orientation and Intro to Law for those whole two weeks?
Yes, and please don't freak out about Intro to Law! Some people were actually studying for it and stuff, even though it was pass/fail. Spend that time getting to know people!
