A little scared for Crim Final
I have my crim law final in about a month, and I know it's crunchtime. I'm a little nervous for this exam as I probably know the least material in this class. Any tips for studying? I have Dressler already.

Re: A little scared for Crim Final
a canned outline like Crunchtime or Legalines is probably a good place to start if you feel overwhelmed. get the basic concepts there, then read Dressler for more detail.

I'm scared for contracts. Material we're going to be tested is unlike that found in other courses. Philosophers, theories, etc. WTH?

B's are below median at BLS?

Re: A little scared for Crim Final
Wait what? B might be below median as in 3.0 is below the 3.1 overall median, but a B in a class is most likely median for that class. Unless your professor give out something like B.34's.goosey wrote:its the only exam that day, next one is 6 days laternooyyllib wrote:not sure if that take home is good in between other in-class examsgoosey wrote:our is an 8 hour take home, it is my least stressful, though scary in its own right.

wait what do you mean? I thought the grades we get in classes are based on the school's curve? So if a B+ is median for the school then the median in any class will be B+ too?
