Signs Your Evidence Class is Going to Suck*
The Short List:
- Your Prof uses the Socratic Method.
- Your Prof is a judge who wants you to come watch his court cases.
- While forcing students to participate he makes them stand up.**
- People make "an escape" at the break.
- While "attendance" isn't taken you're downgraded if you aren't there when he cold calls you (read: attendance is taken).
- You didn't see the set of 3 books (in addition to a Text Book and the Federal Rules of Evidence) that we're required to buy.
- Did I mention he Co-Authored the 3 Book set.
- You have to stand to talk when called on.
- The 3 Book set costs over $100, bringing your book total well over $600 for 12 credits.
- You're held 15 minutes late the first day and he doesn't even apologize (or so much as acknowledge) for going over.
- You wear business casual to school because you're always at work first and now you're being forced to stand up and show everyone your business casual attire.
- When he goes over he's not even covering any sort of material (ie-He's rambling on about the stages of a trial and how Attorney's annoy judges).
- You have to stand when you're forced to talk, did I mention that one?
*Yes I know this is an oxymoron as all evidence classes suck, but mine sucks a lot.
**Has anyone ever had a class where they do that? I've heard about it in regard to law school in "the olden days" but that's about it.
