Section A's property professor has already posted our first reading assignment for those of you go-getters!

[fsohn]

How do you guys find this stuff out so quickly?

[erin429]

I'm just glad that when they do, they share with us! I just realized that I have assignments posted for 3 of my classes...i suppose i should hit the bookstore tomorrow.

[OggXI]

I'm in section D.

Where did you guys find the assignments that have been posted?

[CampbellRh]

[LeahNic]

On the registrar page you can click on blackboard and log in. If your professors have updated it, they will be posted. ONly 1 of mine has.

[reverie]

Not gonna read that assignment this week, but I just ordered the textbook online. Thanks for all the info, guys!

You can look up your class rosters on blackboard as well. Click on your class, click on "communication" and then click on "roster." Click on "list all." I assume lawyering and maybe others are just your section, whereas others are combined. Happy facebooking!

Retasu--what website did you use?

Textbooks.com had the Property one. I searched by title and then sorted by author, since the search function was being a little finicky. They have older editions, too, so be careful.

Free shipping ftw.

[LeahNic]

Thanks. Did you buy used? That's all thats showing is available. I think I'm gonna risk buying them used... I cant afford new ones.

I went for used. I'll find a way to deal with crazy highlighting or whatever from the previous owner if it's a problem. I'm too poor to pay ~$150/book.

I just bought it used from barrister books. It was $90 vs. $150 or something. I think it's worth it even it is marked up a bit. I also bought the Gilbert's that is keyed for that book.

[logicianwannabe]

can you see section assignments online?

can you see section assignments online?

You can figure it out by comparing your schedule to the master fall schedule. The classes on the main law school fall schedule say "A,B..." next to them. So just match it up and it should be clear.

For those of us who have Summers for Contracts, he has posted a document explaining why he has decided to ban the use of laptops in his class.

[xdistak]

Haha suckers, Hillman pwns

*waits for hillman to post a notice advertising laptop ban*

You'll have Summers in the spring, then. It's a full-year class with just the two professors.

But yea, I have Summers for Ks too and this laptop ban is no bueno.

[KidA23]

PS I'm in Section C, fwiw...

[joonbug]

I heard Summer's tough. From what I hear, he is one of those professors who constantly asks questions. That plus the no laptop policy will definitely make this an interesting experience....

I was called on today. I was staring right at the answer to the question, which was highlighted in my copy, and I just went daft. I couldn't figure out how to talk. Wtf? I literally stared at the answer until she decided I was mute and moved on to someone with the ability to speak. I wouldn't mind getting called on frequently just so I can get over it.
