I remember my property professor going on FOREVER AND EVER about RAP. I mean, we must have spent two weeks on it. And it was the majority of the exam review. I was so ready for a RAP question....every RAP question....any RAP question....ALL the RAP questions.kaiser wrote:This is common. I remember how, during exam prep time, my Civ Pro professor spent tons of time covering Erie doctrine and its all that students were asking about during review sessions. And then there was no Erie issue on the exam.
Exam prep is always a gamble. They aren't going to cover anything, so you need to guess what will be covered. And the safest way to cover your bases is to be well-prepared for anything. The fact that they only asked about 50% of your class material shouldn't make you feel cheated in any way since you ideally prepped for that 50%, just as you would have been prepped for the other 50%.
Not a single RAP question on the exam. Instead, we had Native American (Indian) Tribal property rights and maybe something about riparian rights. It was just bizarre and absurdly hilarious.
