Academics Survey
Full-time law program Fist year classes are pre-assigned and scheduled. There is rarely any cold-calling, and not much use of the Socratic method. First year classes are in Modules of 30 people, with a couple coures consisting of 3 modules together. Even in these larger classes (90 people) the learning process is very personal because there is more discussion than lecture most of the time. (Profs sometimes apologizes when he has to lecture "too much" instead of allowing more time for discussion.) There are no letter grades here; 60% of class gets "Pass", 30% gets "honors" and 10% gets "high honors." The workload is manageable and there is an extreme emphasis on NOT WORKING TOO HARD--from everyone: professor, deans, other students, etc.
