So far I like classes this semester. App Ad is still great, Con Law seems alright, and I love property. There's one thing ruining it, though. Civ Pro (Although the way it's taught, it's more like Civ Amateur).
2pm classes aren't supposed to be the ones that people can't stay awake in, but somehow minutes after two it's like I was roofied at lunch. If it were only once, maybe I'd just write it off as actually having been roofied at lunch, but it's still happening. I know, "Boo hoo, there's a class that isn't interesting." The problem isn't the material, though. I actually think the material is pretty engaging. If it were just a monotone that I were trying to push through, it'd be easier to deal with. Been there, done that. The real issue is that it becomes a lot harder to press on when you think there's a reasonable chance the material being presented is going to be dead wrong. The very first day we were straight up lied to about notice. "Oh but notice is such a complicated...." That's right, it isn't. It's a very simple, very basic concept and as a result should be very easy to not mislead students about.
The approach doesn't get me going, either. I really preferred being talked to like I should understand things in Torts to being treated like Levin started hosting a daycare on campus during class hours and I was scheduled for that by mistake. That would at least explain why it feels like nap time is part of the curriculum.
On a more positive note, I'm really excited about Woodser, and you should be, too!
That's all for the first post, and it won't all be this bitter. Spoiler alert for the next one: reviewing a Property related movie recommended by THE RyGil
