Yea, if you have George she has her own class pack. And she is awesome.Jojo wrote:Our contracts class had a copied packet that came out a few days before. Not sure if you will have that, but it might explain it.
Okay, so forgive me if this makes me sound like a re-tard (think the character Alan discussing Rain Man in the movie "Hangover," lol) so do we have to purchase that class pack, or is it free? And, if it does cost, how much did it run you last year?hov! wrote:Yea, if you have George she has her own class pack.

She's also a cutie. Very well dressed.Jojo wrote:You have to buy it – probably at around 45 dollars. There are also some recommended texts that are good if you are confused, but George is so awesome, it is hard to be confused in that class. Her awesomeness includes:
1)calling on you in rows, so you know when you are up - and when she does call on you, she helps you if you are stuck instead of just staring at you while you flounder (ahem, Civ Pro profs, ahem);
2) Only using the case text and then discussing them – no unnecessary notes to read (this actually might change, as the book is being written and she might have added notes)
3) using powerpoints and posting them online so that you can review after class for things you missed.
4) explaining really well by diagramming on the board and using modern funny examples
5) having in class practice exams which she then goes over
6) having class competitions for which there are prizes (alcohol and candy )
7) bringing us donuts about 3 times a semester
She was quite possibly the best prof I had last year - although Maroney was also very good and if crim law wasn't such a complicated bitch of a subject, she may have gotten that title (she used many of the same tactics as george - powerpoint, prizes, funny examples).
edit: didn't have any of the other three profs you mentioned, so not commenting.
. Rez, since I'm a chick, that piece of information does nothing for me, lol. But I'm sure the fellas in the class will love some eye candy while studying Ks.rezipsa wrote:She's also a cutie.

Is M.B. coming back?rezipsa wrote:--LinkRemoved--tudo ben wrote:Hey, can anyone give a heads up on how to know what books to buy, for online buying purposes? From the Facebook thread, I've learned that the books for contracts and torts may be the same for each section, or may not be, and for everything else you need to know what section you're in first. So I guess that means bookstore? Any help would be great. Sorry if this has already been covered.
