Date: October 5th, 2006 3:56 PM Author: Yapping immigrant internal respiration although i'm not a law student, i agree with the students on this thread. it sounds like the unprepared student accidentally bruised the professor's fragile ego, and the professor decided to exact revenge by decreasing the student's grade, which obviously is going to hurt the student when he starts looking for a job. sorry, but this is pure bull. the student is paying for a damn law license. he's not paying to prepare himself for class and make sure the class runs smoothly. therefore - and this is merely an opinion, obviously - his performance on the exam should be all that matters because it's really the only thing that tells the world that he deserved that damn law license. lawyers are so egotistical and pretentious.

Date: October 5th, 2006 11:45 AM Author: jet antidepressant drug oddly, i just got an email from a prof chastising me for being unprepared yesterday. totally ridiculous. called our exchange "a waste of the entire class's time." in a two hour lecture, it's truly a shame to spare 10 seconds and move on to the next person. instead, why not chastise the daft cunts who do participate, but only to make some long-winded, idiotic spiel that goes on for five minutes and makes everyone in the room dumber for having heard it?

Date: October 5th, 2006 12:17 PM Author: Tan razzmatazz old irish cottage While on the subject of gunners, might want to check out this comment from an FSU law student:
I am a student and I try to be prepared and participate in class. I agree with Ethan's comment that students benefit from their classmates' participation in class discussions. Few things annoy me more than students lack of preparedness and unwillingness to participate. I believe that techniques that encourage or even coerce students to participate are justified.
And to retain whatever shred of popularity I have left with my fellow classmates and Prawfsblawg readers I must also say the following:
I cannot recall any comments by fellow classmates who had prepared for class that I didn't find interesting and pertinent to the discussion. Students that prefer to remain quiet sometimes demonstrate the most profound understanding and contribute the most provocative or compelling arguments. So fellow students please contribute and professors please continue to require contribution.

Date: October 5th, 2006 11:52 AM Author: Boyish bright market mediation If I were a professor, I would cold call, but allow passing. Passes would be marked down, and if a student hits three passes (or three answers that clearly indicate they did nothing to prepare), they get de-enrolled from the class. No grade penalty--just no record of taking the class. Assuming the registrar would go along with this, it seems fair, because as a prof I don't want to dick people over on their transcripts, but I do want to restrict the class to people who actually give a shit.

Date: October 5th, 2006 12:07 PM Author: Bearded Plaza Keepsake Machete The "pass" tally of all students should be clearly displayed on a large scoreboard in the front of the classroom so all can see who is about to get kicked to the curb.

Date: October 5th, 2006 12:12 PM Author: Boyish bright market mediation People pass all the time in pass-allowed classes, even when the Professor makes it clear that passing is allowed but highly disfavored. Bullshitting can get ugly if the Prof wants to squeeze the student a little. Why TO self? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=500589&forum_id=2#6732962) |

Date: October 5th, 2006 12:40 PM Author: Beady-eyed rambunctious forum Prof: So, Mr. Value, how would the court in Powell v. McCormack have come out if the house had attempted to exclude Mr. Powell on the grounds that he was not 25 years of age (when he was plainly an elderly man)? Would the question have been non-justicible?
Value: Well, I think they'd be I be like move, get out the way, cuz I move bricks, get out the yay. And it's 2 clips, I get out the play. Fo a few chips, I get out n' spray.
Prof.: So you think the court would overrule the house's determination?
Value: Yes. I mean, after all, it's more then shrimps; it's whores and pimps.
Prof.: So you don't find the argument that the right to make that determination has been specifically allocated to the house in the constitutiton to be persuasive given the 4 prong test from Baker v. Carr.
Value: Uh, that shit you talk don't move me nadda. The dudes with the Qs be proper. Uzi pop, you news and choppers.
Prof.: I see. Very well put.
