lawl.

Also, he needs to proofread his emails. "following procedure fore stopping the exam"?

Protip: don't just rely on the auto spellcheck.

I know, I saw that. I guess that's why real lawyers have secretaries? :P I dunno. It's a multiple-choice, closed-book exam. I'm going to be done in an hour because really, how long does it take one to sketch out Donald Duck's face in answer options?

When in doubt, pick C.

He/she will then exit the room, go to the elevator, ride the elevator to B2 then take it back up to the 3rd floor and join the back of the line of students waiting to hand in exams.

That's a joke, right?

I have NO IDEA. I got the email about two hours ago and that's kind of...stupid timing for a joke. The school recently caught a cheater who had read over someone's shoulder for NINE TESTS and didn't get caught until last semester, so they've instituted all kinds of ABSOLUTELY INEFFECTIVE measures to prevent that from happening again. But every exam I've ever taken before this, you put your pencil down, close up your computer, make faces at your classmates, pack up your crap, and schlep it all upstairs to Records, after which you are officially Free.

I am imagining the mad rush of 100 students to get from the exam classroom to Records before the proctor rides the elevator down and then up. I don't want to be a lawyer anymore.

That sucks. We, um, just turn in our exams and leave.

That's because Your People are sane. I feel like Rodney, despairing the stupidity of the world. Or Kermit the Frog, making the flaily hands.

Dude, this is the guy with the lumberjack shirt. And the bright orange Halloween monstrosity. Nothing is too crazy for him. I am officially giving up. If I never get to go back to Delaware as a lawyer, SO BE IT.

Come here! Take writing classes with HBG Prof!

Seriously -- what is up with this law prof. Can you just imagine him sitting at his desk crafting this very elevator-riding scenario to trip up cheaters? He needs a hobby -- do you think he'd like watching SPN?

He does have a hobby....but it's like, tracking duck migration to the northwest or something. I would LOVE to take writing with the HBG Prof! He sounds awesome and like he would really help out my writing. *SIGH* Alas, I guess it is not to be.

I am with the rest... your prof is INSANE. Certifiable.

Actually exams here at Vermont Law freaked me out. At Pace we had proctors from the Convent all in their 70's who stayed in the room, you signed in and out to go to the bathroom and only one could leave at a time and then you signed out when done with the exam and handed in your paper to the proctor. No profs were allowed in the room during the exam either. They counted down on the wipe off board until it was over and that was it. (This was of course before laptops were used for exams cause I graduated with the JD in 2002.)
At VLS? The prof proctors and he doesn't stay in the room, if there is a proctor at all, you can get up and go to the bathroom whenever and there is no sign in/out... nothing. It was SO WEIRD.

GOOD LUCK though!

Fortunately, the Dean of Records thought my prof was certifiable, too, so we didn't have to race up the stairs after all. Last year we could choose which room we sat in, and where in the room we could sit, but this year they assign us a room and a color, and we have to sit in one of the rows with our assigned color and then we can only sit in every other seat - the ones marked with colored dots. It is to weep.

The exam went all right though, thanks. :) It was multiple-choice and closed-book so it kind of sucked, but it's over and I'm not terribly worried about it.

Thanks! Fortunately our Dean of Records is sensible and put the smack down on the whole "race to the Records office" thing. :)
