Should I ever become a law school professor, I'd be weary of how accessible I make myself to law students. God bless, Professor Short because we've asked him more questions in the last few days via newsgroup postings then we have all semester long. With less than 9 hours to go, time is of the essence and everything is down to the wire. Forget taking notes, forget making outlines, just read Short's exam discussion board and you'll probably catch up on everything that you've missed. However, don't let other disgruntled students get on your nerves, they just don't want to wade through hundreds of "stupid" questions.
THE COMMANDMENTS imparted to us by the Great Short ...
First of all, "the great Short" is the preferred title. Thanks for using it.
- My teaching has been called many things, but it has never (to my face) been analogized to the dumping of the ice-cold contents of a chamber pot on students, but I guess it was just a matter of time. The indignities....
- Q: Any bonus points for not using extra pages, keeping answers very brief, and otherwise reducing time it takes you to grade exams?
S: Probably not. But you will have my unending gratitude, which is worth . . . well . . . not very much, come to think of it. - There are lots of pages to your exam. Currently, there are 59. Don't freak out. A lot of those pages are blank, so you can write your short answer answers directly on the exam. Breathe. Also, there won't be 2 stapled parts to your exam. It's all together in one stapled set.
- Get some sleep tonight. Pleasant dreams of happy equitable servitudes romping through a jointly held leasehold. Or something.
