I know for a fact that some professors do not permit students to write policy papers and only accept legal analysis type of papers. I did not know the reason but now I believe tha tthey want to avoid disputes. It's far easier to set objective standards for grading legal analyses.

what about professors who accept policy papers? how did your past professors grade policy-oriented papers?

At my school seminars are graded on a curve, so I think hitting boxes one and two will only get you a B+. I'm kinda nervous about this, actually :P

yes, me too.
those classes are curved at 3.4 to 3.6.

I think this is very unfair.
in order that some people could get As there must be some Bs.
