Thanks Angela for this Q&A!! I agree, I prefer typed notes rather than writing. It's easier to organize and study! Also, you're great at making cold calls seem not as bad! I also agree with you, I prefer to study on my own rather than being in a study. group during undergrad.
Hi Angela! Thank you for this informative video! In terms of credit hours per semester, I wasn't surprised to see that the standard is usually 15 credit hours. As an undergrad student, I currently take 12 credit hours per semester, so it'll definitely be a quick change of pace adding in another class. In regards to using supplements, i'm so glad i'm not the only one who uses them! My biggest supplement is youtube and it comes in handy for my philosophy classes 😂 🧙♂️. As for the textbooks, I currently have one e text book alongside my numerous piles of hardcopy textbooks. One benefit that I found with an e-book is that you can usually have a read aloud function (assuming ur e-book has such a feature). This comes in handy as I can listen to my assigned readings in my car via bluetooth. I'm a bit divided in terms of note-taking however, as I understand the efficiency of using typed notes, but I've been using handwritten notes for as long as I can remember 😂. Thanks again for the video! Cheers! 👍⚖👨🏫👩🏫👨⚖👩⚖
My pleasure! That's awesome that you're already implementing so many of the strategies in your studying regimen. In terms of handwritten notes, there are definitely law students who prefer that method for the reasons I mentioned in the video, but if you think you'd like to give types notes a try and see what you think, I'd say go for it!
Hey Angela! Quick question: I have two bachelors degrees and currently working on a masters program (with a 4.0!) I was wondering if my masters will have any sort of influence on applying to law schools. So many sources says it won't matter at all, but some sources say it will help me stand out. What do you think?
Good question! Anna Ivey answers this question beautifully in the law school admissions Q&A video we made, so definitley check that out here: ruclips.net/video/JLkGlGoub1E/видео.html Essentially she says that spending 2 years getting a master's degree for the main purpose of trying to strengthen your law school application is not a good use of your time (you could make yourself a much more attractive candidate with 2 years of strong work experience instead). That being said, if you have your heart set on a master's degree first and the thing you're getting a master's in is related to the reason you're going to say you want to become a lawyer then, yes, it can add *a little something* to your application. But do check out Anna's answer because she makes some other really great points on this as well!
I love E-textbooks, however, my school’s lockdown browser for exams doesn’t allow access to them in open-book exams. They are a game changer for outlines though!!!! This was a great video!
Hi Kennedy! I'm so happy to hear that the video was helpful!! If you don't mind me asking, how do you like to use your e-textbooks with outlines? Do you control-F certain terms in the e-textook that you want to include in your outlines?
@@AngelaVorpahl I definitely use control-F to find terms, especially when I have the casebook open for class discussions. Control-F is is life saver for cold-calling. I try to book brief, so once I find the rule or other important language, I'll just copy the text directly into my outline.

Hey, just to let you know, the audio only comes through the left headphone while watching
