i asked my students to talk with me about the architecture of the educational space harvard law school crafts for them. i am going to start posting interesting responses. here’s one:<\/p>\n
I actually believe that having more classes pass\/fail at Harvard Law School
\nwould greatly help students learn and appreciate the law. Personally, I found
\nthat taking a year off and working between undergrad and law school taught me
\nto put things in perspective, and realize that grades weren’t the end-all,
\nbe-all. As such, I thought I was able to approach my classes, especially 1L
\nyear, with a much more level head than many of my classmates who went straight
\nthrough without working. I’d watch friends stress out and panic months before
\nexams were even mentioned, straining to memorize every miniscule detail of each
\ncase, and fail to grasp the bigger picture of what the purpose or essence of the
\narea of law was about. I found that my ability to emphasize the nature of the
\nlaw rather than get caught up in insignifica actually allowed me to perform far
\nsuperior in exams and understand the material to a fuller degree,than if I took
\nthe classes as merely preparing myself to score high on an exam. For those
\nstudents who did not have the advantage of working and garnering a different
\nperspective on the importance of grades, having more classes pass-fail would
\nallow them not to fall into the trap of obsessing over grades and not getting
\nwhat they should of their law school experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
