TOPIC: Exam Taking Skills, Outlines, and Advice for Law Students
During the week of Oct. 17, 2005, CALI’s Director of Curriculum Development, Deb Quentel, spoke with six law professors about outlines, studying for class, preparing for exams, time management, and how professors grade exams. The conversations were recorded as podcasts. While these podcasts are not intended to take the place of a conversation with your professor, the professors hope that these podcasts give law students additional insight into the exam process.
Several of the professors have graciously offered to field questions from students about the exam process. Please send your questions to Deb Quentel <dquentel@cali.org>. She will forward them to the professors.
