Socratic Method Redux
Most law school students seem to panic over the idea of the the Socratic Method, where the professor puts an individual student on the spot, asking them to analyze a situation or ask a question.
Nine weeks into my first semester, the stress levels over getting called on are coming down.
Mine were never that high to begin with, mainly because I have no pride. I don’t mind making a fool out of myself. In five years, no one will care and in the mean time I might learn something.
Getting called on in class was THE BIG THING students were worried about at the beginning of the semesters. Now we’re more concerned with our legal writing assignments, and stress over finals is starting to rear its ugly head.
Verdict: Socratic Method…no big deal.
