Whoo! I'm slowly but surely meeting everyone.paglababa wrote:I'll finally meet you! Corp here too.phillywc wrote:Electives are up on Albert.

Also what's up with all the written assignments for Section 3? Am i right to understand that none of these will have any true effect on our final grades?
I've heard others this happened to. Add/Drop is now, property/tax/int'l law all probably have spots.jimmorrisonlvr wrote:I dont see an elective added to my class schedule on Albert. Anyone else in the same boat?
I bid all 1000 on corp.
Wow I'm kinda surprised there are so few spots for Int'l Law.fkt18 wrote:I'm in International Law.
There were two spots left when I last checked, but I don't know how long those will last.
It was more popular than I thought! And some people were just silly in not bidding all 1000 on the class they actually wanted.phillywc wrote:Wow I'm kinda surprised there are so few spots for Int'l Law.fkt18 wrote:I'm in International Law.

I feel kind of bad for them. The elective guide definitely didn't make it clear (although intuitively, if you're only going to get one class, why on earth would you split up your points?!). Some people in my section tried to bid 600 or 700 points on Corporations, which obviously didn't work out for them. I was just thankful that I'd talked to some 2Ls in advance so I knew to bid all my points on my top choice/alternate.phillywc wrote: I don't think people really understood how the system worked.
I mean when I first heard I thought I would bit 1 on tax so I got it if I didn't get Corp. It wasn't until I realized it was only for multiple classes that you would split points that I understood.fkt18 wrote:I feel kind of bad for them.

If alternates weren't a thing, that would have been a good strategy. But apparently some people still didn't pick up on that. (They'll obviously live though - Property has a million spots left so they can add a required class at least.)phillywc wrote:I mean when I first heard I thought I would bit 1 on tax so I got it if I didn't get Corp.

TLDR: I'm a dumb.

Our first test wasn't an issue spotter. So now we are all confused about to deal with our contracts fact pattern. Three hours to type everything you know about contracts?!kkdk wrote:Almost there people, two more sessions of this

Yup. First test my section basically threw in the baby, the bathwater and the kitchen sink and now we have to see what sticks. #1 thing overheard after a Miller final?
