Picking between two evidence professors for 2L.

One is 20% midterm 80% final = grade

The other has 10% for participation, 40% for exercises + class quizzes, and 50% for the final. No midterm.

I know it’s school and professor dependent, but for a class as difficult as Evidence, would you have rather have the final exam be worth more or less? Appreciate your input. All of my classes 1L except legal writing were 100% the final, so im not sure how divided percentages work for doctrinal courses, or what is most people’s experiences with them.

That’s it that’s the post. Had a CivPro exam yesterday. My professor is amazing and very kindly offers himself up for appointments to go over practice exams with you. After getting a B- in CivPro I, I promised myself I’d be better this semester! I took my professor up on the practice exams, had 4 meetings with him throughout the semester. Not only did it help incredibly when I was taking the exam, but he had some MCQs in there based on past exam essay fact patterns that only those who did them would know! I love professors that care about their students, it’s my favorite thing about Law School! Such genuine, smart, hardworking people. If you’re lucky enough to have a professor offer themselves up for reviewing your practice exams, take them up on it. As we all know, exams are all about the audience, and learning how a professor wants his exams written is so important!! Happy exam season 🌸
