I am becoming increasingly frustrated with my Civ Pro professors reading assignments. As of late he has been assigning between 40-60 pages for each class (about 3-5 cases). When we get to class however, he only spends about 5 minutes on each case only brining up key points, and occasionally does not mention a case we read at all. Needless to say it is frustrating spending 3-4 hours reading for class to have a majority of the reading distilled down to a 5 minute summary. Looking ahead in the syllabus it does not look like things are going to change much in terms of the amount of reading.

Basically I have two questions: The first is whether or not this is normal for a civ pro class? (I can only compare his class to my other 4 where we generally only have 10-20 of reading assigned per class, and spend the majority of the class focused on the case) The second, how much should I being taking away from the readings he barley mentions or dose not discuss at all?

Thanks for any input.

Welcome to law school? I mean, that seems like a bit much on the amount of reading, but I had worse in a couple of classes. And anything he assigns is likely fair game for the exam.
