Welcome to law school son. Welcome to the rest of your life.

God LRW grading is such a joke. I never got below a B+ on any assignment and I get a B. I've given up on trying to understand the LRW curve.

The whole transferring thing has me feeling pretty numb about grades in general, though.
why transfer if getting A's. The curve might be harder at the other school and the GPA won't transfer.
I go to a TTT....

Right there with you Jessuf... makes the wait for grades even harder...

Even getting one grade back is an incredible weight off. Hooray for efficient professors.

At least this semester they're releasing our grades as the professors post them. As opposed to last semester when they took a month and a half and then decided to postpone giving us our grades from Friday to the following Monday.

i was hoping torts would have been better considering my contracts grade is going to really destroy me.

i don't like how these grades trickle out randomly.

why the one extreme to the other? If it is so appealing to you why not go NG or reserves?

NG is not nearly as cool as the Marines.

If all A's at a TTT (and presumably top 10%) would you prefer to be at top 10% or middle of the pack at a TT?

There often isn't a curve in paper courses.

You can't view your transcripts? Even if not, if he knows his grade it is simple math to know the GPA. Mental math easy.

As long as your made the parts that you know are worth credit obvious to the reader, then you should get full points. Outline dumping is worth points, even if they lie to you and say it isn't. But if they see wrong answers rambling they find excuses to take points away.

Caveat: Rambling ok, but don't look like Forest Gump writing a PhD dissertation on string theory.

Finally a grade out! Crim, did really well but there's the inner-gunner who is angry it wasn't better.

It's still BS that not one grade is back. We took our first exam four weeks ago. It's holding up my apps. I'd like to know what school I'm going to next semester ASAP. Considering I have to pick up and move to some city with no family and find housing in short order, it would be nice.

Con Law > Crim Law > Environmental Law

So far so good on the Crim Law > Environmental Law thing. Still waiting on Con Law, and I already knew what I had gotten in my 4th class because it was a paper class that I had gotten all of my grades in already.

Pretty stoked about my grades this semester. Only need a B in con law to end up with the same GPA as last semester, anything above that and I raise my GPA

I understand most of the classes, but I dont know why our LComm grade didnt come in already. Although, my partner screwed up my appellate brief. So, I might not want to see my grade. Ha.

Lol I did mine solo. I didn't want to fix someone else's mistakes.

Sure sounded like it.
Then you misheard/misunderstood what I was saying.

A. Happy about my A-, especially since I expected a B (median is B)

B. Enjoyed my prof, but his slant on things was not what I expected from a 1L Con Law class.

No blame, no credit, either way.

Hey, you're a dick.
