Re: Two classes out of every five...
how about speak in class whenever you actually have something worthwhile to say or when you want clarification on a topic. wouldn't that be a better rule?

Not if you read the book. The rationale goes that with the Socratic method if you speak 2/5 classes then you're less likely to be called upon blindly when you don't know the answer. Just reading the f*ing book, its good.Stanford4Me wrote:+1Genki wrote:how about speak in class whenever you actually have something worthwhile to say or when you want clarification on a topic. wouldn't that be a better rule?

Yeah, the book is pretty good. People say that it "scares" them but it didn't really scare me away. Neither did "Paper Chase" for that matter... Did anyone else watch that?casper00 wrote:Not if you read the book.

Yeah, saw it a while back. Pretty good movie and the professor's daughter was pretty smokin. I'm with you though, neither One L nor Paper Chase scared me about law school.iagolives wrote:Yeah, the book is pretty good. People say that it "scares" them but it didn't really scare me away.

Who cares about not knowing the answer? And if you do care, the best way to avoid being called on blindly when you don't know the answer is to read for class and know the answer.casper00 wrote:Not if you read the book.

Eh, I could do without people speaking when they think they have something worthwhile to say. IMO, a law student in class is not usually the best judge of when he/she is saying something worthwhile.

Re: Two classes out of every five...
Depends on the prof. I had one who only called on those who volunteered. Others used some sort of system; you knew what particular day you'd be on call or, more commonly, a certain section of the class was on call on a certain day of the week or for a certain period of time. Most profs made it a point to call on each student at least once, even if you had volunteered. And others didn't cold-call at all.
I only had a handful of professors that adhered to the completely random Socratic method.
