class participation marks (1 Viewer)

[mp3mojo]

im not much of a discussion person, would it be a smart idea to just let the 10% go down the drain?

or is that 10% of the assessment goin to be the easiest marks u can get in law subjects?

thnx

 

[addz]

unless u get totally shut out by the teacher

happened to me in high school once or twice...definitely not a good feeling..lol


saying something or asking questions is better than sitting there fiddling

its so hard to compete with people who did legal studies for hsc

*shakes fist*

 

[mp3mojo]

any suggestions on wat to discuss in class?

really dont want to get a CP of 0... but its also extremely nerve-rackin...

Just ask genuine questions. I'm sure there are things you don't know or don't quite understand. I always find such things. Just ask about them. There's no need to fake a discussion.

ahh....damn class discussion marks...forcing me to talk
contracts 20% CP this session man...

i dont think you will get zero even if you dont talk at all in first year..i got a pretty good CP in torts cos i participated..but i rmeember in foundations i never added a single word to any discussion for the entire session and still got a 5....guess it really depends on who ur teacher is

 

[Newbie]

i find a few people sayings something like this
*puts hand up*
" yes i agree because [paraphrases what the teacher just said]"

is this good?

i wanna do law

 

[rukawasan]

theres these two seriously hardcore transfer dudes who have a monopoly on all class-discussion with the teacher...
sigh... theres my CP marks donw the drain

 

[Eeko]

jus go

"sry but i think u're wrong" (proceed with a whole load of BS)

 

[santaslayer]

i think that not necessarily responding to every question the teacher asks the class will get u high marks in CP....i think if u answer their questions with a quality response, always do ur readingz, and ask intelligent and genuine questions which, in turn, helps the class as a whole to learn..... then u would get a high CP mark

*class discussing tutorial problem about contracts and promissory estoppels*

me: but you can't use the estoppel in that case; the promissory estoppel can only be used as 'a shield, but not a sword', as in the Hightrees case...

tutor: that used to be the case... but if you recall Waltons and Maher, you will see that the precedent has now changed...

me: *shut down* but... but... but THE PROMISE WAS GRATUITOUS!! yeah, the promisee didn't give any consideration!!!

 

[jay2000]

contracts is so gay...even public law is better!
