I can't take this any more, I just want a single grade from any class. Can't believe how much my professors are procrastinating especially my small section professor.

Although school has already started, I'm going to Mexico for the weekend after grades are released ... although it might take a lot more than a beach and a magarita to break me out of my forthcoming blue funk ...

Somehow knowing the grades are done makes me think mine are worse. But that can't possibly make any sense.

Re: Waiting for 1L grades...so much worse than waiting for LSATs
our grades are "due" at 9 AM wednesday
does that mean they are posted 9 AM wednesday? no, it means that's the deadline for profs having them in. and if any profs miss the deadline they wont post grades until those grades are in.

Aren't the grades at Harvard (for all intents and purposes) just Honors and Pass? If so, then it's not really that big a deal anyway, right?mistergoft wrote:This. ugh.mallard wrote:I hear people are starting to get emails that the grading is done, but we still won't get them for weeks.

I thought there was a mandatory LP grade at HLS. That probably causes a great deal of the worry.

Yeah, it's pretty much A-, B, C, and it's curved. The curve has become more (or more openly) discretionary this year, but...

It honestly makes me feel kind of guilty. I read threads like this and think 'These people almost certainly work a lot harder than me and probably know a ton more about the law than I do, even if a lot of it is minutiae that won't be useful down the road.' Meh, I'll study harder next semester. I have been reading this thread and just have a ton of respect for those whose grades are really important--if I were in the situation where I absolutely had to have stellar 1L grades, I honestly probably wouldn't have had the stones to take on such a heavy financial burden. So yeah, I respect folks on this thread a lot for having such a commitment to their careers and so much confidence in themselves.
Okay, as per usual cue the 'Man, YLS students are such douchebags for [insert reason].' I'll be interested to see why I am a douchebag here, because I feel like I'm being very deferential and complimentary....but maybe I'm such a douchebag that I don't recognize my own douchebaggery. We'll see.

Pointing out your own grace = douchebaggery, FYI. You were doing well until then.

It makes sense to me - firms need a way to differentiate between the student body. Grades are a quick and dirty way to do this.thesealocust wrote:The better question is probably 'why do all other schools turn 1L into a hilarious, curved, thunderdome style deathmatch'?pasteurizedmilk wrote:Why does Yale do this?

It's a myopic obsession with least common denominators.

Re: Waiting for 1L grades...so much worse than waiting for LSATs
I would love hearing others' input on this, but my general sense is that Yale doesn't grade because they don't have to. but the question of why they don't have to is the truly interesting one: the most obvious ones are prestigious name and relative scarcity of graduates. but the more interesting notion is that it's because the stuff we actually learn in law school isn't that useful for and doesn't really correlate to doing well in firm work. Grades, however, would probably correlate because employers simply use how well you can do in, e.g., torts and Ks to establish how clever you are. They probably just assume that since YLS's class is so small and reputedly so selective, the people going there have already been subjected to a rigorous enough 'screening process' to determine how clever the person they're considering is. This is how a lot of other professions work--e.g. finance and investment banking: it's not really about what you know coming out, it's about showing employers that you pick up information and can use it quickly so that you can be productive with what they want to ask of you.pasteurizedmilk wrote:It makes sense to me - firms need a way to differentiate between the student body.
