No problem gaud.

Ugh, one of my professors mentioned a word limit last week and I was like "noooooo!" My whole strategy last semester was to just throw every single thing I had at the wall.

Yeah, same. And its a class where the professor seems to want a really deep analysis, so I'm a bit confused/worried.

Does anyone have a con law outline (chemerinsky based)? I have a midterm next week and would greatly appreciate it.

We share a prof and I'm terrified of that exam.

Yeah, I have no idea what to expect (though that seems to be the idea... ). I think my strategy is going to be to do as many different exams from different professors as possible, and then hope for the best.

Thanks! The con law outline is pretty different, but the property outline is right on point.

Pre-written answers. Grumble grumble... I had two closed/closed exams, and the one that was open book/open notes was Crim, which doesn't lend itself to pre-written answers in the slightest. Anything I wanted to pre-write, I still had to memorize anyway.

A guy in my crim class had pre-written answers that were apparently on all fours with the exam - scored an A+

Well, yeah. I suppose for the policy concerns that works. I think, at least for how ours was graded, you'd have been limited to some pre-written sentences here or there, but certainly not paragraphs (like, say, Civ Pro). We also had a word limit that you could easily hit within the time allowed, which is a format inherently unfriendly to pre-written responses. An argument could be made for pre-writing to get your stuff edited/trimmed down as much as possible, I suppose. I didn't try. Still got the A+ I guess the takeaway is, as usual, different strokes.

Can someone give an example of a pre-written answer they used for an exam?

I'll PM you.

Hook me up, braj.

How screwed am I that in a year-long Civ Pro course, I have not yet started outlining? Was planning to take care of the the first semester over winter break, but ended up playing a lot of Xbox instead. Lazy ass me!

dunno. probably fine. outlines are pretty useful as a way to inculcate the material into your domepiece. i made outlines for some classes and used 2L/3L outlines for others with similar results. If it gets too late, you'll have to employ the latter method.

Goodbye social life! (not that I had much of one to begin with)

Was Freer's Civ Pro lecture any good?

Any good? It's my single most credited piece of studying advice for Civ Pro.

I never used the lecture, so I'll defer to IGF. BUT! I highly highly recommend his treatise. I pretty much read it leading up to finals and silently laughed to myself to see people paging through the casebook. I am more text-based, rather than auditory, so if you are like me pick up his book. I've heard great things about the lecture though.

+1.

If you drive to school, it's a very credited to jam out to
