Con law. Lol. lol. lol.

One lol for each of the three professors we've had so far. Clever.

You've had three professors this semester for Con?

Our prof already had to cancel two classes and sent in a substitute for a third. Seriously, a substitute teacher. In law school.

Then today just before class we found out our class would be merged with another Professor's, so we've got a 200 person class with a new professor for half of us. All for just $54,000 per year.

That is crazy! I can't imagine a 200 person doctrinal class. Thank god for Chemerinsky!

Best make sure there are 2 exam curves.... Otherwise.... Fuark

I must be missing something here: Why would that make a difference?

That's fucking ludicrous.

What a clusterf*ck. I am so sorry.

So, what time-wasting, productivity-sapping vices are people giving up for Lent?

[gaud]

Bronck and Tiago... I can't even imagine.

[Bronck]

ON the brightside, he doesnt do the hisTTTorical approach, but does it topic by topic.

I still have no idea how this is going to turn out though. Can I just get a P/CR and not worry about it?

[shumpshump]

On the bright side, our new prof seems really focused and cool and so even with double the number of students, we'll have a "better" exam and get our grades back sooner than with our old prof.

Also more students means more As and A-s available. Always a good thing (even if w/ %s, it doesn't matter).

Yeah, that's true. I like him so far, even if today's lecture was deathly boring.

ETA: lol at the student senate resolution.

I didn't realize I was in the same section with you all. I agree that our new prof seems better, and to me it does make way more sense to organize the class by doctrine.

However, I do hope we have two separate curves. Although I doubt it's much of a disadvantage, we did miss 3 weeks of his classes and have to play catch up on those readings. And I sure as hell didn't learn much with our old professor.

2 AM. Finished con, on to property. CSWS.

Does GTM advice conflict with LEEWS?

[Nova]

IMO, not really. I mean, there might be minor conflicts, but in general the methods can be used in harmony. GTM gets more into analysis, while LEEWS is about structure. I have OLs of both, if anyone wants.

I'm kinda embarrassed to be asking since all I seem to do from this thread is take, but I need all the help I can get: I want. Please?

Ditto, but just GTM (I'm already a LEEWSer, lol)

[Nova]

Ok, just PM me an email address.

back on top, hitting my grind stride

[005618502]

I glanced at GTM (read little pieces of it, basically just test strategy). Never did LEEWS. I did well first semester (top 15%). Does anyone think that doing LEEWS would help me ramp it up? I just dont know if you basically know how to take an exam, if its worth it. Advice?

[stillwater]

I read GTM, never did LEEWS. I am not sure if I actually gained much from GTM. The policy section, "Czar of the Universe," is pretty good because that shit is just weird to a 0L.

I get that we're CSWS here. But dude.

[Bronck]

Did GTM over the summer. Forgot everything about it, aside from "argue both sides". Never did LEEWs. Did well 1st semester.

This is kind of all I took from it. I guess I was hoping there would be something more to it than just the "forks" because even our professors really emphasized this in a couple classes. I guess there is no prep that can actually teach how to get an A... I guess I am just nervous because Con Law is going to kill me this semester... seriously so lost in that class. Need to start reading Chemerinsky
