the only thing you need to do now is try to make sure you have good notes from class. anything else this early on will be forgotten by december.Br3v wrote:I kind of just wish I knew what I was doing.

I've been cleaning up my notes, and when I transcribe them the only thing I put in the notes about cases is normally the issue, how the court ruled on the issue and why. That a good idea?5ky wrote:the only thing you need to do now is try to make sure you have good notes from class. anything else this early on will be forgotten by december.Br3v wrote:I kind of just wish I knew what I was doing.

honestly the most helpful thing for me was to have good notes on the cases, so i didn't ever have to open the book to refresh my memory on them when outlining. but there's no one right way to law school, different things work for different people.
So, this undoubtedly a dumb question, but how do you outline a law school class? Is there a guide somewhere on TLS that explains how to put one together and what's important to have in it? As far as I can tell, it's like a big legal rule tree for all the issues we're going to cover. No?5ky wrote:when outlining.

Right there with you. The last thing I "outlined" was a research paper in high school. 90% sure that's not what we're talking about here.danitt wrote:I keep wanting to ask this but I feel like it's one of those things everyone knows about and I'm just a dumb.North wrote:So, this undoubtedly a dumb question, but how do you outline a law school class?

You don't need to worry about outlining till October at the earliest. Right now, just make sure you're doing all the reading.danitt wrote:I keep wanting to ask this but I feel like it's one of those things everyone knows about and I'm just a dumb.North wrote:So, this undoubtedly a dumb question, but how do you outline a law school class?

I think tomorrow is the day because the refund showed up on either Thursday or Friday in SIS. Unless you didn't do direct deposit, in which case sucks for you. At least another week.Br3v wrote:Anyone get loan $ yet? Tomorrow is day 7
That's what I'm thinking/hoping. I had to spend my last dough on bread, PB and J this weekend to have something to eat.danitt wrote:I think tomorrow is the day because the refund showed up on either Thursday or Friday in SIS.

I got mine too! Fun stuff! Ironically we're all poorer now as our bank accounts go up.digifly wrote:Loans are out. Go eat, gentlemen.
I guess it would depend on how you accepted your financial aid, but the most likely answer is you get paid each semester.shibby wrote:This is a really dumb question but it demands an immediate answer, and SIS is not giving it to me: do we get disbursed living expenses 2x per semester or is this it?

I think that's right. According to fin aid: "The Direct Loan is normally payable in two disbursements, one-half of the total in each semester."
Can someone else please confirm?
