2L. No motivation Forum

[mths]

I suspect I am going to have to work next semester to counterbalance the effect this semester will have on my GPA. Very disappointing.

this is what I've been thinking

[traehekat]

anyone know where i can find NU professors' grade distributions? does that exist? is that a thing?

http://www.law.northwestern.edu/academi ... olicy.html

according to that at least 40% of students have to receive B+ or better, right? and at most 67% could receive B+ or better? man B+ would be such a solid victory...

They don't publish professors grade distribution. But generally uncurved = win.

Just finished Comm Trans. He added an extra class for a bankruptcy lawyer to come speak a month ago, I had a scheduling conflict and he told me not to worry. No one had notes from it when I tried to get them. Then one whole question was: "The second example the bankruptcy lawyer gave, how would you do that?" Another was a 1L contracts case that wasn't in our coursepack...think I may have managed an answer after 10 minutes of Westlaw research. FML

No more 2LOL. I actually had to re-work my entire Secured Transactions outline today after realizing it didn't work when I tried PT's. Just need a B- so I can pass/fail this shit (or that the Commercial Paper people, which is 90% of the class, help the curve ).

You can P/F a C or better. That test blew.

Just can't believe my admin exam is closed fucking book. And it's thunderstorming here in the middle of December. Is the world ending? If it is- good.

Getting an internship has literally killed my motivation to study. Even though its the type that isn't paid, and doesn't get you a job when you graduate.

I was at that class and no one took notes. It just seemed like a "here is a guest speaker" thing rather than a "this is going to be on the final" thing. I remembered the scenario, but I couldn't remember how he worked it out.

Also, I didn't notice any 1L contracts case, unless it was only on the Payment Systems part of the exam.

It was. It was Archer Midland v. JP Morgan. About rice and Iraq and a letter of credit.

Whatever, either way that shit is over.

I have an exam tomorrow. Had an exam this morning and then spent this afternoon watching Glee and three episodes of The League.

Pro Tip for 2Ls w/out motivation and w/ a job lined up: find a reason to visit away to another school your final year. All grades are P/F, and you still graduate from your old school. Incredible.

Blowhard and Keg, you are violating rule 1 of law school. No talking about exams after they are over. There is no good that can come from it.

funn you should mention this. i am acutally planning to transfer to a lower ranked school in my home market / where the job is lined up for 3l year. family lives there so easy to spin a compelling need. hope it works out. my grades aren't great but from talking w/ admissions ppl at the schools they say its all about if u have family there.

Lost cause for tax tomorrow. Can't even answer the practice exam Q's, and the model answers make no sense to me. There is one Q on each test that is always 25%. I studied my ass off and mastered that one thing at the expense of everything else. Please god let that be enough cushion to snag a B and escape without destroying my transcript.

I'm not upset by it at all. Like I said, just need to get above a C .

Just took mine. I know length doesn't correlate well with grade, but when there are word limits and you're under them by a decent margin, things start to look really bad. Damn, I really wanted to go into cruise control next semester too.

You only need to take it by 2. You just want free liquor at noon!
