UVA Law Students Taking Questions Forum

[jawsthegreat]

How high were y'alls grades after 1L, really high grades could contribute to that?

Do you guys contribute it to just general apathy?

I think part of it was the fact that 35% of the class of 2011 was unemployed when they were in all of my 2L classes. They were gunning like hell for high grades. Class of 2012 probably isn't trying as hard.

2Ls and 3Ls...TRYING. *Shivers*

I am comfortable asserting that it would literally be impossible for me to try less hard.

Speaking of which, if anybody wants to drink with me during exams, I'll be the guy drinking taking his exams all day in a room in Slaughter tomorrow.

The rules are simple: one shot every hour, one shot at the start of an exam, and one shot at the end of an exam.

For some reason nobody has agreed to do it with me, even for one exam :/

Since my evidence prof apparently gives out like 80% B+s I could probably get away with this. But since I'm not a 3L I feel like I need to make at least some pretense of still giving a fuck.

Which prof is this? Feel free to PM me; I'm trying to decide if there's one less class I have to study for.

Mitchell. He gives somewhere in the ballpark of 3/4 B+s.

No prof, not even Abraham, gives that many B+s in a lecture course. UVA people consistently exaggerate the percentage of B+s in classes.

Go look in the book in Student Records. The highest percentage I've ever seen in a big lecture course was like 65% or 70% B+, and it was either Leslie or Abraham.

I ask, because I'm wondering if my not doing shit is going to finally catch up to me.

General apathy + realizing 1L is all that matters + nerds-with-nothing-better-to-do-who-continue-to-gun + general regression to the mean because people below median figure out how to take law school exams and people above median lose their former advantage + self-selection into classes (e.g., people who are bad at exam classes stop taking them).

As a 1L, having good analysis of the obvious issues and writing a lot of words equaled an A-. As a 2L/3L, it's very easy to get B+ pwned (especially in classes like Evidence, Corporations, Crim Investigaiton - classes where there is no "right answer") even when your analysis was solid and you wrote a ton.

The 80% I said earlier was intended as an exaggeration, but I could've swore Mitchell gave out more than 70% B+ for the semester I looked. Maybe I've confused myself and the 75% was the combined % of people who got B+ and higher; I'll check again.

Edit--thinking over it more, you're probably right. Sorry, didn't mean to mislead anyone.

Does anyone know if Ivy is strict about the allowable times for moving in? They say until 5pm on weekdays and 4pm on weekends. Is somebody going to enforce that if I'm still unloading a U-Haul at 6?

I don't know the answer to your question for sure but I'd assume they mean that you can pick up your keys from the office and such until that time. Not that you can literally move things in until that time. It would be an odd restriction indeed to not allow you to bring things into an apartment your paying rent for after a certain time of day.

Moot point for me, anyway. Thanks.

STAY STRONG! Take some BCAAs, hydrate! Don't eat any protein or beef jerky, it will kill your liver/kidneys. Remember - type a lot. We didn't spend our adolescence on computers in our mom's basement for our mad typing skills to fail us now.

I'm not sure profs appreciate it when you throw in a string of "motherfucking PWNEDDDDD nublet!!!!"'s into your paper. I could be wrong, though. Never know till you try.

Can I just point out that what sealocust is doing is absolutely legendary.

[Morgan12Oak]

Its not impressive if you don't survive it - can anyone vouch for sealocust being alive?

Ya, I was going to ask the same thing.

That was an interesting way to spend a Monday for sure.

Woolhandler's Fed Courts class literally gets like 80% B+'s.

[omg]

Alive! That was an interesting way to spend a Monday for sure.

CONGRATS SEALOCUST!!!
