I hope there are lots of people like you in my classesGummiBear wrote:I'm completely unprepared for at least one class per day (And I'm talking about the classes where the professor actually calls on people to do cases).
It's kind of like an adrenaline rush, and it makes class much more exciting.

I wouldnt count on that making a huge difference...Being prepared for class is useless. It's the people who are prepared for the exam who take home the top grades.d34dluk3 wrote:I'm assuming he meant for his grade.Zugzwang wrote:Why, for your personal enjoyment?

Way to pay thousands and thousands of dollars for the opportunity to take an exam, bro! Learning is fuckin' gay!Aqualibrium wrote:
eh...not really. I read probably 20 cases total last semester; was never prepared to discuss in class. 2 months before finals though, I worked like a madman on every practice problem I could find. My semester was essentially only 2 months. Grades came out great. I dont think reading, briefing, and talking in class matter at all.

That's what I'm saying, broseph! Don't romanticize this shit- it's all about the job you get at the end! Learning is for suckerz. Dollah dollah bills, y'all!Aqualibrium wrote:1.

2. I'm not in law school for the educational enlightenment. I'm here to get a job. Additionally, the idea that I'm not learning because I don't read every case is absolutely ridiculous. I pay attention in class, and focus on doing what I'll ultimately be graded on and what clients will some day expect me to do; analyze a given situation and apply the law. Don't romanticize this shit...it is a means to an end.
I think youre still missing the point. Reading is for suckaz. Applied learning is all good. I mean you can be top 10% in your class, brief every case, and get no job. I hope your degrees are enough to keep you warm; I hear it's gonna be a cold winter.Burger in a can wrote: That's what I'm saying, broseph!

Don't see any incongruency in those statements. Again, to think that I don't "learn" because I don't read and brief every case is ridiculous.Burger in a can wrote:Aqualibrium wrote:

Well I suppose I proved your point though...I was still dedicated, just didnt approach it like everyone else.
