| Re: opinion toward in-class exams in law school
I hate the 3-hour timed exam, although my law school strongly encourages it for upperclassmen and requires it for 1Ls. But one useful function it may serve is preparing students for the essay section of the bar exam--if I recall correctly, in NY we had 10 essays to complete in 8 hours. So although I agree that timed exams don't provide a good test of student knowledge, they might help students pass the bar--always useful for the would-be attorney!
