Why is everyone being so mean?? It's not like 2Ls and 3Ls at schools are keeping all their outlines from one another. People openly share outlines to help others.

Don't worry about me (thanks for the sentiment though!). I'm not phased. It's hardly an unreasonable request.lishi wrote:Why is everyone being so mean?? It's not like 2Ls and 3Ls at schools are keeping all their outlines from one another. People openly share outlines to help others.

Re: Should I Transfer from UCLA to HYS?
Yeah, but it's not like anyone is hunting down the #1 student and bluntly asking for all his/her outlines and notes even though they are complete strangers.lishi wrote:Why is everyone being so mean??

Sure, but they aren't just handing them out for free to every anonymous asshat on the interwebz either.lishi wrote:Why is everyone being so mean?? It's not like 2Ls and 3Ls at schools are keeping all their outlines from one another. People openly share outlines to help others.

Re: Should I Transfer from UCLA to HYS?
I think the request might have been better served through a pm, but I think the whole point of this site is to help others going through the same situations and problems. So much advice has been shared on this site, that it isn't completely unreasonable to ask if someone could share outlines as well. In the end that is the main purpose of TLS.
Also seeing as he is transferring I doubt someone would have a chance to really get to know him to ask about the outlines.

Even if I don't get his outlines, his posts have been invaluable. I think everybody needs to calm down with the negativity. Talk a deep breath, a walk outside, watch a comedy or something. Life's short.

Talk a deep breath, a walk outside, watch a comedy ... or try contributing rather than leeching if you'd like people to be less annoyed with you.washdc23 wrote:Talk a deep breath, a walk outside, watch a comedy or something. Life's short.

Re: Should I Transfer from UCLA to HYS?
You're right. I'll try to send him a PM and see if I can leech his outlines. Lemme know if this works for you, "Hi, can I have your outlines so I can replicate your academic success? Thanks." Do you think that works for you? Let me know if it doesn't annoy you.snotrocket wrote:Talk a deep breath, a walk outside, watch a comedy ... or try contributing rather than leeching if you'd like people to be less annoyed with you.washdc23 wrote:Talk a deep breath, a walk outside, watch a comedy or something.

Re: Should I Transfer from UCLA to HYS?
I don't know if the OP will return soon. After reading through the thread, it sounds like maybe he'd contribute with some more helpful nuggets about exam taking. Based upon the advise of the OP, I read Getting to Maybe over the summer. Very helpful tips. But I was wondering how adequate the professors' sample responses were. Particularly, did they contain enough analysis and enough fork identification and subsequent analysis of each fork? The reason I ask is because the answers appeared short. With a laptop it seems that you could write so much more than the authors did. Also, I have a friend who graduated near the top of her class, and she explained that her exam answers were usually dozens of pages long, single spaced, and typed. Just wanted to hear any 2L thoughts from those who read that book.

This seems unlikely, as I believe most professors have a length ceiling.WheelsUp wrote:I don't know if the OP will return soon.

It is an unreasonable, presumptuous request, given that you are a complete stranger to the OP. Have you heard of the words COURTESY and RELATIONSHIP?

Re: Should I Transfer from UCLA to HYS?
I've never heard of those words. You're right. I'm sorry for being unreasonable and presumptuous. Sorry guys. I tried sending him some PMs but I wasn't sure if the message was being delivered because it kept staying in my outbox but not in the sent folder.OperaAttorney wrote:washdc23 wrote:Don't worry about me (thanks for the sentiment though!).

Oh, and by the way, life is short. Everyone needs to relax.

Re: Should I Transfer from UCLA to HYS?
I've really appreciated the dialogue here - most helpful.
I'd like to know how to handle professors who go on long tangents. How do you know when it's still important or not? For example, we discussed a specific case in Civ. Pro. (Pennoyer v. Neff) today and that led the professor to discuss other interesting cases related to the original case. Or, we start a discussion from a student who brings up an "interesting question" that leads the professor into other problems. Should I just stick with the holding of the originally discussed case or start taking notes on all this side stuff too?
