Comments on: A “Fun” Law Exam? http://lawiscool.com/2010/01/04/a-fun-law-exam/?nucrss=1 The law school blog and podcast from Canada Mon, 07 May 2012 13:10:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: John Magyar http://lawiscool.com/2010/01/04/a-fun-law-exam/comment-page-1/#comment-7948 John Magyar Sat, 09 Jan 2010 13:19:44 +0000 http://lawiscool.com/?p=2348#comment-7948 I have no feelings of enjoyment or pleasure with respect to exams. It's worse than a root canal every time. As a coping mechanism, I remind myself that it only happens twice a year for 3 short years. (I will live in denial of the bar exams ... that's a horror beyond Stephen King's imagination.) I have no feelings of enjoyment or pleasure with respect to exams.

It's stressful, but halfway through i (thus far) realize that I more-or-less know what i'm doing and i finish and then drink post-exam beers, which are unfailingly the best tasting beers ever. I actually kind of hate it when profs try to make the situations funny or cute. I feel like I've put a lot of work into learning the material and it bugs me when the exam comes off as some sort of joke- it's distracting and annoying. If you are writing and exam, I think I appreciate a well though out question which invites discussion and thought and relates to the material in the class nicely.
